Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup
(again, a recipe based on ones I found on Pinterest, plus my own experimentation)


  • 5 lbs Russet potatoes, washed & diced into 1/2" cubes (unpeeled)
  • 48-64 oz chicken broth or stock (depends on if you like a thinner soup, or thicker more stew-like soup)
  • 3-4 tsp minced garlic 
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 16 oz of cream cheese, softened

Seasoning
(I never measure seasonings; just season to taste)
  • Seasoned Salt (I used Lawry's)
  • Pepper

Garnishes
  • shredded cheese
  • crumbled cooked bacon
  • scallions
  • cubed ham steak (optional)

Preparation
  • Add all ingredients except for cream cheese & garnishes to slow cooker
  • Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 9-10 hours
  • 30-45 minutes before serving, add softened cream cheese; use an immersion blender until cream cheese is incorporated & soup is desired texture (I blended mine until almost completely smooth, but many recipes call for the soup to be blended halfway, so there are still nice chunks of potato).
