Thanks amylou. Unfortunately, I've already added the cream and half and half. I actually did a double batch which pretty much fills my dutch oven. Maybe I'll just try reheating in that when I get home.

We're having a holiday house tour in our neighborhood. Drinks and food at three houses with ours being last. I'm expecting 40+ people. Should be fun!

Sounds like you should be fine just to reheat o. The stove, or if you have a really good microwave with a reheat setting, that works beautifull.y. I just discovered this setting on my new nuke and it is really good, albeit a little slower than on the stovetop. But then you are hands free to set out bread and other stuff to serve with it.

I think it depends on your crockpot. Mine does NOT boil on low heat, but it's older. I bought a newer one at Costco a few years ago and took it back because it did cook too hot. You also could put the soup in another container inside the crockpot and add water around the outside to temper the heat, if yours heats too hot.

I know I'd end up scorching it trying to hurry up heating it at the last minute.

That’s why the microwave works so wel. You can’t scotch it. But as I said, it does take time.

So it's only going to be in the crockpot for 2 hours? And there's a large amount? I think it would be fine, but I also think reheating just won't take very long, and even less time if you split it up between two pans for reheating. It almost certainly will not burn your house down, my electrician husband has assured me that a breaker should blow before a fire starts, LOL. I often leave mine overnight, and left it on the counter cooking while I was at work literally thousands of times, with no unexpected wildfires.

Your party sounds like a good time, have fun!
