Loaded Recipe ⇾ Brett's Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup

The first time I decided to try making a loaded baked potato soup, I could not decide which recipe I found to use...so I combined 2 together that sounded great. It's is the best potato soup I've ever had! Anyone who's tried it cannot get enough of it.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 white onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) package crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
• ¾ cup half-and-half
• ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, plus more for garnish
• ½ cup sour cream, plus more for garnish
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Cooking Directions

1. Combine potatoes, chicken broth, onion, butter, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker (such as Crock Pot®). Cook on High until soup flavors meld and potatoes are extremely soft, 4 to 5 hours.
2. Stir bacon, half-and-half, Cheddar cheese, and sour cream into the soup. Turn heat to Low setting; cook until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes more.
3. Mash the soup in the slow cooker using a potato masher to your desired consistency. Garnish with additional Cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chives.
