MiMi's Loaded Potato Soup (Crockpot Version) image

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!
