Tips:

  1. For a creamy soup, use Yukon Gold potatoes or russet potatoes. For a more hearty soup, use fingerling potatoes or red potatoes.
  2. To make the soup in a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  3. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make the soup in a pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. To make the soup ahead of time, cook the potatoes and bacon according to the recipe. Then, store the potatoes and bacon in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve the soup, reheat the potatoes and bacon in the microwave or on the stovetop. Then, combine all of the ingredients in a pot and heat until warmed through.
  5. To make the soup vegetarian, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker potato soup is a hearty, comforting, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
