SLOW COOKER LOADED POTATO SOUP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Soup doesn't get much easier than making it in the slow cooker, does it? And here we have one of the ultimate comfort food soups made in the slow cooker. I've already posted four slow cooker soup recipes this season and they're quickly becoming my favorite way to make soup so I figured I may as well post another. Potato soup is definitely one of my favorite soups. I make it probably two or three times a month especially during the winter. I don't always add bacon because I don't always keep it on hand (it's dangerous stuff for me, I have a hard time resisting) but if we are going to label this as "loaded" potato soup, then it better have bacon. I think next time I might even try adding in some homemade ranch dressing in place of the sour cream. To a 6 or 7-quart slow cooker, add potatoes, onion, chicken broth, evaporated milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and cook on HIGH heat for 4 hours or LOW heat for 8 hours (poke potatoes with a fork to check make sure they're soft). Ladle out 2 cups liquid from soup mixture in crock pot into a liquid measuring cup, set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. While whisking, slowly pour 2 cups liquid in measuring cup into butter mixture (it will thicken quickly). Pour butter mixture into slow cooker and stir to blend. If desired, mash potatoes with a potato masher to break down into smaller pieces or use an emulsion blender to puree. Cover and cook on HIGH heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Turn heat off (or to warm), stir in sour cream. Serve warm topped with cheddar, bacon and green onions (you can just mix in those three remaining ingredients into slow cooker or top individual servings).

LOADED POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Place potatoes and onion in water until covered and boil until potatoes are tender. Drain and set aside. Melt butter in Large pot over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, then gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil, and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Add potatoes and onions that you set aside. Stir in sour cream and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Once your cheese and sour cream has melted remove from heat and serve.

LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cut tops off of the garlic bulbs, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in oven until fragrant, about 30 - 45 minutes. Remove from oven and unwrap to cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, dice potatoes, leaving skin intact. Add to slow cooker.
• Add chicken broth, onion, salt and pepper. Turn slow cooker to high and cover until garlic is done.
• When roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the head to release the cloves. Using a bowl, plate, or cutting board is optimal, as the skins will flake off and you will not want to add them to your soup. After extracting the garlic cloves, add to the potato mixture in the slow cooker. Stir and re-cover. Cook on High for 1 hour, then reduce to Low. Cook for 6 hours on low.
• After 6 hours, take the lid off the slow cooker. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, break up the potatoes until a chunky yet creamy texture is achieved. Add cream, milk*, cheese, and yogurt, stirring until well blended. Turn slow cooker back to High. Add sliced green onions, bacon, and salt and pepper to taste. * More or less milk can be added depending on desired consistency.
