Late winter, early spring, is a great time to make a savory potato soup for when the winter refuses to leave! This is a new one for me, as we generally make a cheesy broccoli potato soup. Backed off with the usually peppery taste to make room for the grandbabies to enjoy...

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large onion, chopped
1 qt bone/vegetable broth, homemade
3 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c butter
3 Tbsp bacon fat, rendered
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 large idaho garlic parmesan mashed potatoes, instant family size
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded
2 c cream
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp fresh herb (lemon balm, basil or fresh parsley
1 tsp oregano, dried or fresh
TOPPINGS
1/2 c bacon, fried and crumbled
1 c sour cream
green onions, chopped
grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the first eight ingredients in the crockpot and bake on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Remove the potatoes and mash with fork or mixer, depending on your consistency preference. Return to the hot broth in the crockpot that has been turned off.
  • 2. Add the instant potatoes, just enough to get a semi-thick consistency. I generally put the whole package. Add the cheeses and melt/mix thouroughly, add the cream last. Season to your preference.
  • 3. Serve with toppings of your choice!

This is my go-to comfort food recipe. It's so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand.

I wasn't a fan of this soup. The potatoes were too mushy, and the soup was too thick. I think I'll stick to my regular potato soup recipe.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's always delicious. I love that I can throw all the ingredients in the crockpot and forget about it until dinnertime.

This soup was delicious! I made it exactly as the recipe said, and it turned out perfect. The potatoes were so soft and creamy, and the soup had just the right amount of cheese and flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
