SLOW COOKER LOADED POTATO SOUP RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Tabatha

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 to 3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch pieces
1 cup yellow onion, finely diced
3 (14.5-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup evaporated milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 6 ounces
9 ounces bacon, cooked and diced or crumbled
4 green onions, diced

Steps:

  • Soup doesn't get much easier than making it in the slow cooker, does it? And here we have one of the ultimate comfort food soups made in the slow cooker. I've already posted four slow cooker soup recipes this season and they're quickly becoming my favorite way to make soup so I figured I may as well post another. Potato soup is definitely one of my favorite soups. I make it probably two or three times a month especially during the winter. I don't always add bacon because I don't always keep it on hand (it's dangerous stuff for me, I have a hard time resisting) but if we are going to label this as "loaded" potato soup, then it better have bacon. I think next time I might even try adding in some homemade ranch dressing in place of the sour cream. To a 6 or 7-quart slow cooker, add potatoes, onion, chicken broth, evaporated milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and cook on HIGH heat for 4 hours or LOW heat for 8 hours (poke potatoes with a fork to check make sure they're soft). Ladle out 2 cups liquid from soup mixture in crock pot into a liquid measuring cup, set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. While whisking, slowly pour 2 cups liquid in measuring cup into butter mixture (it will thicken quickly). Pour butter mixture into slow cooker and stir to blend. If desired, mash potatoes with a potato masher to break down into smaller pieces or use an emulsion blender to puree. Cover and cook on HIGH heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Turn heat off (or to warm), stir in sour cream. Serve warm topped with cheddar, bacon and green onions (you can just mix in those three remaining ingredients into slow cooker or top individual servings).

CROCK POT - STYLE LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP



Crock Pot - Style Loaded Baked Potato Soup image

If you like loading your baked potatoes will all those delish dairy ingredients, then you'll love this soup recipe, too! Original recipe calls for only four slices of bacon, but I -- being a little piggy -- love the bacon, so we always use more like 8 to 12 slices. You decide which you prefer.

Provided by Debber

Categories     Chowders

Time 5h15m

Yield 2 cup servings, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large baking potatoes, peeled, cut in 1/2 -inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 quart chicken broth
3 garlic cloves, minced (or pressed)
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cream or 1 cup half-and-half cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 cup sour cream (optional)
8 slices bacon, fried & crumbled
cheese, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine first seven ingredients in a large crock pot; cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours (potato should be tender).
  • Mash mixture until potatoes are coarsely chopped and soup is slightly thickened.
  • Stir in cream, cheese and chives.
  • Top with sour cream (if used), sprinkle with bacon and more cheese.

Tips:

  • For a creamy and rich soup, use a combination of Yukon Gold and russet potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes will add a buttery flavor, while russet potatoes will help to thicken the soup.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, cook the potatoes and bacon according to the recipe instructions. Then, let the soup cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through.
  • To make the soup in a slow cooker, cook the potatoes and bacon according to the recipe instructions. Then, transfer the potatoes and bacon to the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • For a vegetarian version of the soup, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To make the soup gluten-free, use gluten-free bacon and chicken broth.

Conclusion:

This slow-cooked loaded potato soup is a hearty and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and bacon. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So get creative and enjoy!
