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
Author: Tenille Lafontaine
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!
Looks delicious, but I wonder how many calories/bowl.
Millions.
haha! LOVE it! I am so making this.
Mmmmm….I definitley am going to try this!
OK… I have this one bookmarked. Thank you!!
I don’t know about the cream cheese, guess that’s the creamy part. I usually use milk & added leeks. I’ll try a smaller batch.
Yummy…something the whole family will eat. Thanks for the great recipe
Looks delicious, Tenille!
Wow that looks amazing!

Was planning to make a recipe just like this later this week!! The one I found had corn instead of cream cheese, but maybe I’ll add both. Yumm
Don’t many potatoes come in a five pound bag already? Weighing them wouldn’t really be necessary.
Unless you had a 10 or 20 lb bag right? Or keep them in a bin in your pantry.
great sounding recipe – i love potato soup. i do have serious reservations about someone who does not like the smell of cooking bacon…
The recipe looks and sounds delicious but seriously, you don’t like the smell of bacon cooking? Seriously? Really? I am saddened and somewhat confused.
Just made this today. Loved it! Found you through stumbleupon. I am going to have to check out your other recipes!
Love it! Hope you find something else you like (and they’re all super easy to make too…)
I have no funny idea that this is healthy in any way, but its the day before Christmas Eve so.. Who’s counting calories anyway? I have modified the method, in the interest of having it ready before church, and the kitchen smells wonderful!
Ohhh great to hear!
I was very excited for this recipe. I love soup and I love slow cooker meals. So this was great. But I left out the bacon to make it vegetarian and then for the last hour of cooking, I added thinly sliced carrots and celery. They cooked just long enough to be done, but weren’t soft. They added some color and texture and gave me more than carbs to eat.
Oh that’s a great idea! I’m going to do that next time, thanks for the idea!
I’ve bookmarked, sooooo making this for dinner tomorrow night!!! Yum!!!
Can’t wait to give this a try!
loaded baked potatoes are one of my favourite things. And I looooove potato soup, so I’m sure this will be amazing. Can’t wait to try it!
I will be making this on Saturday!
My friend said this is amazing. Can’t wait to try it.
Mmmmm looks delicious, this is one to add to try thanks for sharing

I bit this taste good especially with the bacon added.
This looks so good and I love that I can make it in my slow cooker. Soup with potatoes, cream cheese and bacon just has to be so delicious. I love soup
This sounds so good, I already love potato bacon soup but this recipe kicks up many notches
, in words of Emeril BAM!!
Perfect comfort food for the never ending springter we are having!
Wow cook for 6-10 hours?! But I’m sure it’s totally worth it!
My husband would like this and my son, they love soup.
I love making potato soup! I’ve never added cream cheese before….I will try it for sure!

Ohhhh this looks so tasty!! I have been craving potato soup but haven’t found one that I like yet… or that is easy enough for me to do!! I will have to try this… can you use a low fat cream cheese at all?
This recipe looks so good. Would go great with some potato chips crushed on top.
My potato soup recipe is very similar except i LOVE the smell of frying bacon, so I would make the bacon myself. I like to make bacon cheddar muffins to go with it for dipping
Never had potato soup before but it look delish!
This sounds wonderful and worth printing out! TYVM for sharing it.
Potato Soup rocks to begin with, but the recipe you just posted with bacon as an ingredient looks so delish and I am so making this!!
looks great
I would love to try making soup in a slow cooker, that’s a first
I have browsed through your recipes and can tell you this is one of my favorites, I can’t wait to try it!
YUM! This would be excellent during those cold winter months.
Looks so good, thanks for the recipe!
Oh this looks amazing will definitely be trying it out!
Looks good. I love slow cooker recipes.
looks good!!
Looks delicious, and love that it is a slow cooker recipe.
as i’m reading this, all i can think is, THANK GOODNESS there is bacon in my fridge. DOING THIS.
my hubby loves potato soup, Im no a fan of creamy soups but I do make it for him. I kinda cheat I use the real bacon bits in the soup because I dont want to waste bacon just on him lol yes Im greedy when it comes to bacon.
Looks yummy, I will have to try your recipe. thanks
I love soup AND baked potatos. This recipe is a dream.
This soup is on my “to try” list when I finally win a slow cooker. We love creamy soups. Maybe I’ll just do it without a slow cooker…
