Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAdd the potatoes to a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the onion, chicken broth, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, until potatoes are fall-apart tender.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Mash the potatoes and add dairy<\/h3>\n
Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nMash the potatoes as much as you like\u2014leave them a little chunky for more texture, or go for a smoother soup. Stir in the cream cheese, half-and-half and butter. Cook on low, covered, for another 15 minutes, until everything is heated through.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Garnish and serve<\/h3>\n
Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhen you’re ready to serve, give the soup a whisk to combine all the ingredients, then ladle it into bowls and top each with bacon, cheddar cheese and chives, as desired.<\/p>\n
Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nRecipe Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Heat things up: <\/strong>If you like things a little spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the potatoes while they’re cooking, and add sliced fresh jalapeno peppers to the topping options.<\/li>\n
- Cheddar isn’t the only cheese:\u00a0<\/strong>While cheddar cheese and baked potatoes are a popular pairing, other flavorful cheeses are delicious too. Try spicy pepper jack or nutty Swiss cheese.<\/li>\n
- Add broccoli:\u00a0<\/strong>Steam broccoli florets just before dishing up the soup, and include them in the toppings for more color and nutrition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Slow-Cooker Potato Soup<\/h2>\n
Baked potato soup can be stored without the toppings for three to four days and gently reheated.<\/p>\n
Can you make slow-cooked loaded potato soup ahead of time?<\/h3>\n
If you want to make a Crockpot loaded potato soup ahead of time, hold off on the dairy until you’re ready to serve. Slow-cook your potatoes and store them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, bring the broth up to a simmer, mash the potatoes, reduce the heat and stir in the cream cheese, half-and-half and butter. Cook until heated through, and serve with toppings.<\/p>\n
Slow-Cooker Potato Soup Tips<\/h2>\n
Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhat are the best potatoes to use in this soup?<\/h3>\n
A classic baking russet potato works best here, because they will fall apart when cooked and make a thick and creamy soup.<\/p>\n
What’s the simplest way to mince chives?<\/h3>\n
Chives are easiest to mince after they’ve been washed and completely dried. A sharp knife will mince well, but if your knife isn’t the sharpest, try using kitchen shears to snip chives.<\/p>\n
Can I make this on the stovetop?<\/h3>\n
Yes, you can make this easy crockpot potato soup on the stove. Just combine potatoes, onions, garlic and broth in a 6-quart saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

THANK YOU for posting this recipe! Instead of using only cream cheese, I used half cream cheese and half cheddar. I've also made it stovetop only by boiling the potatoes, onions, garlic and seasonings in the broth for about 35 minutes, then proceeding with the recipe.
