Believe me when I tell you this is not your average Slow Cooker Potato Soup! Take every baked potato topping you can dream of and pair it with some creamy goodness and you have a match made in heaven. This Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup is bound to be a dinner time win!Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup topped with bacon and cheese in a black bowl.

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
  • Casual Dinner Parties
  • Birthday Parties or Family Get-Together’s

    Can I use frozen diced hash browns instead? If so, would I use 2 bags?

    Just found this recipe and your site, do have a recipe for good Scottish lentil soup? We visit Scotland last October and I had lentil soup at different shops/cafes and loved it! These soups were a little creamy and thicker than most bean soups. Thank for your help and I will check out all your recipes.

    I’m on a low or a salt free diet how do I make this.

      Hi Paul! I would be sure to use a reduced-sodium chicken broth, sub out all of the seasonings for a Ms. Dash salt-free blend and reduce or omit the turkey bacon. If you run that thru your nutrition calculator with the adjustments, that should help you determine if it meets your requirements.

        I loved this! I used instant potato flakes to thicken it up a bit instead of the flour though. It was great! Thanks for all your recipes.

      Hi Kathleen! Use chicken broth or veggie broth for best results. Can get in a can or box in soup section at grocery store. Let me know how it turns out!

        Thanks Jennifer! I just wanted to make sure I made it right. I’ve never used veggie broth before but will try it for sure. It’ll be perfect for these snowy cold days!

    Would Yukon Gold potatoes work in this? Thanks for the broth base secret!

      September 17, 2016 at 9:47 am

      Hi Holly! Yes they will work, just keep in mind they won’t break down like the russet potatoes so your broth will be a little thinner and smoother if that makes sense? Either way is great… just depends on your preference!!

      Of course that’s what you should use is Yukon gold potatoes
