    This soup has just taken over the status of my go to soup for the next several months (at least)! In fact, I've already made it a few times and my kids are already asking for it again, it is the best. And considering how easy it is to make and what a hearty and filling meal it is, their wishes are sure to be fulfilled. I mean, twist my arm and force me to eat a creamy soup with all the flavors of my favorite baked potato. Add some fresh bread or some salad on the side, and I'm pretty much set!

    What do you like on your baked potatoes? Try these different variations for the perfect addition to this Loaded Baked Potato Soup!

    • Crumbled turkey bacon, shredded cheese and some fresh chopped green onion
    • Sour cream would also be a delicious addition with a drizzle on top or stirred in the soup
    • You could even do some oven roasted broccoli to bulk up on veggies
    • Add some spicy pepper or just a handful of your favorite chopped herbs

    Can I freeze soup with potatoes in it?

    While this is a great recipe, please don't freeze it! Potatoes will turn black if you freeze them so prepare this potato soup on the day you will be serving it.

    How do you make baked potato soup that is lightened up?

    I certainly would not proclaim this loaded baked potato soup healthy, I will say I found some ways to lighten it up a bit without sacrificing any flavor. The key is making the base of the soup a broth base rather than a dairy base and thickening it up with a bit of flour (or cornstarch). This is also the key to creating a cream based soup that won't get weird or separated in the slow cooker. When it's done you just add a little cream and you'll never know the difference!

    While we have already established this Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup is the perfect week night dinner, it is equally as perfect for entertaining because it is so quick and easy! It would be so fun to set up a topping bar and let everyone customize their bowl!

    Try this Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup next time you need to feed a crowd! It would be perfect for:

    • A game watching party

      How do I thicken the soup. The immersion blender didn’t quite do it.
      Thanks
