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 microwave 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
sounds super tasty!
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!
I add this recipe to my pinterest account it looks really yummy

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…
What a yummy-sounding recipe. I am definitely going to have to put in on the “to try” list!
i need to make this :))
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.
Recipe sounds delicious. I think my family would enjoy it.
I really need to start making soups. This looks so warm and fulling.
This looks so good – I pinned it!
omg this is so yummy i love potato soup
YUM! But you don’t like the smell of frying bacon? What’s wrong with you 😉
We made this recipe this winter a few times and we all enjoyed it. My wife made conrbread to go with it…thanks for sharing this recipe, it has now become a family fave.
did you use only red or can it be made with white potatoes. Just wondering if it would affect the flavour.
Also, did you cook with bacon in the soup or just add the bacon as topping after.
thank you
oh my! YUMMY! can’t wait to try this one
sounds yummy
I have a son who would just love this recipe, he eats soup everyday. It would be great to make him a new one to try out. I love making it in the slow cooker! BTW how can you not love the smell of bacon cooking!!!
Yumm I think I will be making this on the weekend 🙂
This looks great. I love baked potatoes and I love potato leek soup – had never thought of a baked potato soup. I could eat this all year ’round. Your pic for the is post really nice too – totally impressed!
looks yummy.. i gotta remember this recipie!!!
Using the slow cooker makes things soooo much easier! Im all about easy these days! Thanks for the awesome recipes & ideas!
That looks easy enough for me.
love slow cooker recipes & this one sounds great
This recipe looks yummy and easy to bake which is right up my alley!
What a great soup. Love Potatoes!
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.
scrumptious!
I love slow cooker recipes. You can’t beat the convenience of throwing everything in and then just walking away!
This looks very good, will get my wife to try it
i couldn’t read passed “I don’t like the smell of frying bacon”
WHAT?!
Looks delicious otherwise.
This sounds and looks delicious!
OHHH YUm! I know what soup I am making this weekend. The boys will love this one! With Extra bacon Of course!
Definitely going to make this!
Does it need to be red potatoes? Also, seasoning salt – different from regular salt? Can you tell I am not a great cook?
Thanks for the recipe.
You can use yellow/Yukon Gold potatoes too, doesn’t matter! Yes, seasoning salt is different than regular salt. No worries, I was once a very novice cook too!
If you don’t have seasoning salt I’m sure you can skip it – though I’d find some eventually if I were you, it’s yummy!
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I made this soup on Friday and unfortunately I will have to make it again as my family loved it. Darn! We had some left over and my husband said it tasted even better two days later. I used a couple of dashes of Nature’s Seasons seasoning blend which I usually use on my rainbow trout. I used regular white potatoes that I had on hand and also popped in two carrots for fun. Did not have bacon on hand but next time will try that too. Really easy to put together in the morning and come home to some yumm after work.
This sounds so yummy!! Especially on a cold snowy day!! I’ve been getting into cooking myself (I really don’t like it) but my hubby keeps telling me to keep up the great work (I’ve actually been looking and trying new recipes especially if it involves the slow cooker!! Thanks for the recipe!
This soup is YUMMY!!!
This sounds delicious! Definitely one of the first things I’d make if I had a slow cooker.
This sounds delicious and a hearty enough soup for a meal.
I really want to try this – it sounds excellent!

This looks amazing! I love that it includes all the loaded potato toppings, although I’ll fry my own bacon since I love the smell!
Sounds like a great soup for a cold winter day. We’re a family that loves cheese, so this should be perfect for us.
Sounds very yummy, I might just have to throw this in the slow cooker tomorrow. I have all the ingredients on hand.
This looks awesome , nice for them chilly winter days ! thanks for sharing , i will be trying this out 🙂
This soup looks very comforting, especially during the winter. I can’t wait to try it.
Sounds good for a cold, Saskatchewan winter meal! I will try this but for sure add carrots and celery. Also adds some nice color and flavor to saute the potatoes, onion and bacon a bit first… Thanks! 😉
This soup sounds so good!
I just got introduced into potato soup the other day and I really liked it. So I’m definitely interested in trying this! It looks so yummy
