Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken stock
1 yellow onion, diced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package thick cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped scallions, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine potatoes, chicken stock, onion, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High until potatoes are tender, about 4 hours.

  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon, remaining Cheddar, sour cream, and scallions.

SLOW COOKER LOADED POTATO SOUP



SLOW COOKER LOADED POTATO SOUP image

Categories     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 to 3 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch pieces (about 7 medium potatoes, 8 - 9 cups)
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (1 cup)
3 (14.5 oz) cans low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup evaporated milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 oz)
9 oz bacon, cooked and diced or crumbled
4 green onions, diced

Steps:

  • To a 6 or 7-quart slow cooker, add potatoes, onion, chicken broth, evaporated milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and cook on HIGH heat for 4 hours or LOW heat for 8 hours (poke potatoes with a fork to check make sure they're soft). Ladle out 2 cups liquid from soup mixture in crock pot into a liquid measuring cup, set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. While whisking, slowly pour 2 cups liquid in measuring cup into butter mixture (it will thicken quickly). Pour butter mixture into slow cooker and stir to blend. If desired, mash potatoes with a potato masher to break down into smaller pieces or use an emulsion blender to puree. Cover and cook on HIGH heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Turn heat off (or to warm), stir in sour cream. Serve warm topped with cheddar, bacon and green onions (you can just mix in those three remaining ingredients into slow cooker or top individual servings). Recipe Source: Cooking Classy

Tips:

  • Prep work is key: Before you start cooking, make sure to wash and dice your potatoes and vegetables. This will save you time later on when you're trying to get everything in the slow cooker.
  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup because they hold their shape well and don't get mushy. However, you can use other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, if you prefer.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the soup will be too thick.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that you enjoy the taste of. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add some chopped bacon, diced ham, or shredded chicken to the soup. You could also add different vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or corn.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker loaded potato soup is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
