Baked Potato Soup in the Slow Cooker

Baked Potato Slow Cooker Soup | theturquoisetable.com

There is something about this soup that is just downright cozy. It’s such a humble soup, with only a handful of ingredients. And, I bet you have most of these simple ingredients on hand.

The smooth, creamy soup tastes just like a loaded baked potato, and the Littles love picking their favorite toppings. I love that a warm and hearty soup is waiting in the Crock Pot at the end of a long day. You can’t beat a dinner that practically cooks itself. How easy is that?

    There couldn’t be a better time for this wonderful soup. Dark days, rain and a fire in the fireplace and the smooth, creamy potato soup!

    Do the onions pretty much melt into the soup? Or do they stay? LOVE!

      Brooke – Tell that husband of yours it’s one of my life missions to change his mind about onions! 🙂 The onions cook down and when you mash the potatoes at the end, they all but disappear. You DO want them for flavor and hearty dose of Vitamin C.

      On the bright side, have you ever known a man to turn down anything covered in bacon? xo

    Potato soup is one of my favorite-est things. As are things that can be made in a crockpot. Looking forward to this series!

      So glad you stopped by today, Nancy! Isn’t potato soup the best?!?! 🙂

    Perfect timing, Kristin! I am expanding my soup recipe collection this year so this is just great. I’m going to us fat free 1/2 & 1/2. (Doesn’t that sound like an oxymoron?)

      Judy – Let me know how the fat free half-and-half works. I cringed when I added 2 cups, but figured it was better than full-on cream! 😉

    YUM. And yes, I do have these ingredients! We’ll be eating a little late tonight because time got away from me, but this is going in the crockpot now!

      Kelli – And, it’s gluten-free!!! I thought of you when I posted this recipe. 🙂

    I love that this can easily be vegetarian-ized. It’s the first such recipe I’ve seen, oddly enough. Thanks!

      Lauren – I’m so glad. I usually make it with veggie broth and it’s delicious. BTW, I love your blog and congrats on the Chronicle Top 10 Austin Food Blog Award! You are the bomb.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
