Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup

Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup – packed with flavor soup that takes minimal prep! So good, it’s bound to become a family favorite!

Recently, my slow cooker has been getting quite the workout. It’s on almost every day. Either it’s a soup that we have for lunch or something cheesy and meaty for dinner. It’s the season! The season for using your slow cooker to the max. Honestly, I use it very often during summer so I don’t have to turn the oven on.

With all of the dinners that have been coming out of my slow cooker, I can’t believe this is the first one I am sharing here, on the blog! I promise to share more!

This soup is one of our favorites! Especially for my Hubby, since there is bacon involved. Every time, I cook bacon he will come to the kitchen to see what’s being made. He loves bacon!

This Baked Potato Soup starts with bacon cooked in a saucepan. Then the thickening mixture is added and cooked in the bacon fat, to transfer all of the meaty flavors into the final soup. After that, all you need to do it throw everything into your slow cooker and let it cook for 6 hours on low setting (or 4 on high).

Topped with cheddar, green onions and more bacon – this soup is a serious comfort food. It has a ton of flavor since we make the base on bacon.

This soup is perfect, since the days are just going to get colder. Hot soup is always great to come home to! Especially one that’s packed with flavor!

Enjoy, friends!
