I love this recipe in my slow cooker, especially since there is minimal prep. No bacon to fry, so the slow cooker is the only dish you will get dirty. If you have dry ranch mix on hand, I have really enjoyed this variation!

BAKED POTATO SOUP IN A SLOW COOKER RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Baked Potato Soup in a Slow Cooker Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-14976

Number Of Ingredients 12

GARNISH:
5 pounds russet potatoes
1 medium yellow onion
5 cloves garlic
8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 (16-ounce) package cream cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup crumbled bacon
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup green onions
Top with optional garnishes, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, green onions

Steps:

  • Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator so it can come to room temperature. This allows it to blend into the soup better. Prepare the vegetables for the soup. Wash and peel the potatoes. Chop them into about 1" pieces, which makes for a chunkier soup. If you like a creamier soup, chop them smaller. Set aside. Chop the onion into small pieces. Chop the garlic finely, or use garlic from a jar, about 2-3 teaspoons. Combine the potatoes, onion, garlic, broth and salt and pepper in your slow cooker. (Don't add the cream cheese, yet). Cook on high for 6 hours and low for 10 hours. About an hour before serving, take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator so it can come to room temperature. Just before serving, add the cream cheese that has been brought to room temperature, into your slow cooker and stir until it is melted. If you prefer a chunk soup, ladle into bowls and top with your favorite toppings! If you prefer a creamy soup, either blend a little at a time in a blender, or use an immersion blender in the slow cooker. Try different versions, like adding clams for a clam chowder, or stir the bacon, cheese and green onion into the soup and top with a dollop of sour cream.

Tips for Making Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup:

- Use a russet potato for a creamy soup. Yukon Gold or red potatoes will also work, but they will not be as creamy. - Scrub the potatoes well before baking them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris. - Pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking them. This will help them to bake evenly. - Bake the potatoes until they are tender. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of a potato. If the toothpick comes out easily, the potato is done. - Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart. - Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until they are smooth. - Add the milk, butter, sour cream, and seasonings to the potatoes and stir until combined. - Heat the soup over medium heat until it is warmed through. - Serve the soup immediately.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker baked potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover baked potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a hearty and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give slow cooker baked potato soup a try.
