Best 2 Crock Pot Potato Bacon Soup Recipes

EASY CROCK POT POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Add the potatoes, diced onions, chicken broth, seasonings, and butter to your slow cooker.
• Cook on low 4 to 6 hours, or on high 3-4 hours - until potatoes are soft.
• About 30 to an hour minutes before it is done, in a small mixing bowl whisk the heavy cream, sour cream, and the xanthan gum together. This will get thick.

• Cook the soup on high for 20 to 30 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.

CROCK POT POTATO BACON SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Using at least a 5.5-quart Crock Pot, set the temperature to low. Combine chicken stock, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, potatoes, celery, and onion in the Crock Pot.
• 2. Stir until all ingredients are well integrated. Let cook until potatoes are fork-tender. (I let it go for a couple of hours.)
• 3. In a separate dish combine milk and all 3 cans of soup. Stir until well mixed.
• 4. When the potatoes are cooked, add mixed soup, mushrooms, and bacon to Crock Pot. Stir gently but thoroughly. Let cook for another 20 - 30 minutes. Test broth for flavor and thickness. At this point, you can add more Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and/or pepper to your taste. If the soup is too thick, add water in small increments until you have your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix some cornstarch and milk then add to the soup.
• 5. Let cook for another 30 -60 minutes (to allow the flavor of the additional seasoning to develop), then serve. Garnish with cheddar cheese for a truly tasty loaded baked potato flavor.
• 6. After eating a couple of bowlfuls, my hubby suggested that chicken and carrots would also be a nice addition to the soup. Please let me know if try that variation and how it worked out. :)
