Description
Make this incredibly easy Crockpot Loaded Potato Soup for a comforting meal. You need minimal prep time to get this hearty, cheesy, bacon-topped soup cooking in your slow cooker. It delivers rich flavor with very little effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 lbs frozen diced or shredded hash browns (or peeled/diced fresh potatoes)
- 1 (10.75 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of celery soup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped green onions
Instructions
- Place the chicken broth, frozen potatoes, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and onion into the slow cooker.
- Stir all ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese melts and the soup is heated through.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving generously with crumbled bacon, extra cheese, and green onions, if desired.
Notes
- Using frozen hash browns makes this recipe exceptionally quick for prep.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker before adding the cream and cheese.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and omit the bacon.
- You can use fresh potatoes, but you must dice them small (about 1/2 inch cubes) for even cooking.
