I’ve just updated my photo for this delicious Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipe, and made an adjustment to the recipe as well. The original recipe as I posted it called for 6 cups of chicken broth. The containers we buy (box) are 900ml, so I found it easier just to pour in 2 containers of chicken broth (1800ml = 7.6 cups, the original recipe called for 6 cups).
Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 7-8 red potatoes, diced into ½” cubes, skins on
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 (900ml) boxes of chicken broth (7.6 cups)
- 2 tsp Seasoning Salt
- 1 block (8oz.) cream cheese
- Crumbled bacon (since I don’t like the smell of frying bacon, I bought Maple Leaf Ready Crisp Bacon and put about 5 slices in the microwave)
- Diced green onion
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Add the first 5 ingredients to the slow cooker (easy, right?!)
- Cook on high 6 hours or low for 10 hours.
- In the last hour, remove about ½ the soup into a large mixing bowl. Puree the soup with the cream cheese and gradually introduce back to the slow cooker in batches.
- Cook for remaining hour, mixing every 15 minutes or so to ensure everything is well blended.
- When serving make sure to get the potato chunks from the bottom of the slow cooker as well, then serve with your favorite toppings.
- Sit back, rub your belly, and remark on a job well done!
What a yummy-sounding recipe. I am definitely going to have to put in on the “to try” list!

Love potato soup. But you can put the bacon in raw. That’s how I do it. Get lots of flavor from it that way.
This looks yummy. Would be great on a cool day.

I have never had any kind of potato soup before. This sounds like it might be tasty!
I saw this recipe and thought I definitely have to try it even before I saw there was a giveaway for bacon.
I’m not a fan of the smell of frying bacon either! Especially smelling it hours later in my hair.
