Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for garnish
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Instructions
1
Combine diced potatoes, chicken broth, finely chopped onion, melted butter, salt, and pepper in a large, slow-cooking vessel.
2
Allow the mixture to simmer on High for an extended period of time, typically 4 to 5 hours, until the flavors have fully integrated and the potatoes are tender beyond your wildest expectations.
3
Next, stir in crispy bacon bits, half-and-half, shredded Cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream into the soup. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting; continue cooking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the soup has reached your desired level of thickness and creaminess.
4
Finally, use a sturdy potato masher to blend the soup in the slow cooker until it reaches your preferred consistency.
5
Top with an abundance of shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped chives to complete the dish.
