Easy Slow Cooker Potato Soup Recipe
I have other potato soup recipes but nothing says comfort food like a slow cooker potato soup. And this is what I like to call a loaded potato slow cooker soup recipe. That’s because it reminds me of a loaded baked potato, but in soup form! In addition to tender potatoes bits, there’s a creamy and cheesy broth, crispy bacon bits, green onions, and cheddar cheese for the ultimate potato soup recipe. This easy soup is conveniently made in your slow cooker. It does all the work for you! Simply add potatoes, onions, broth, and let everything simmer away for hours before adding the final ingredients including cooked bacon, cream cheese, cheese, and milk – about 30 minutes before you plan to serve it. It really is a cinch to make! If you have picky eaters in your house, you won’t have to worry about them cleaning their bowls. And if you have anyone who thinks that ‘soup isn’t really a meal’, I promise no one is walking away hungry after a hearty bowl of potato bacon soup! This is wintertime comfort food at its finest. It’s a great recipe to keep in your back pocket for busy weeknights, too, since it’s basically a set-it-and-forget-it type of recipe.

Stovetop Baked Potato Soup – In this loaded baked potato soup, potatoes are baked until tender before being simmered with garlic, milk, cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions! In the Freezer: This recipe will keep airtight in the freezer for up to 3 months. To Reheat: I use my microwave for quickness and ease and reheat my leftovers for about 30-60 seconds on medium-high power, or as needed. But you can use your stove. Always take care when reheating anything with dairy in it – in this case the broth – and use medium or low heat because the milk proteins could break and cause the soup to appear curdled if you overdo it.
