Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup

Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup is one of the best soups to make in the slow cooker!

Baked Potato Soup is my all time favorite,  I order it at every restaurant when it is available. You can’t beat how creamy this soup is, and how great the toppings blend in. You will see in this recipe I am not actually baking the potatoes, just peeling and dicing raw potatoes. I’ve made baked potato soup before with leftover baked potatoes and it can tend to be gluey.

This recipe for Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup, has a bit of prep work, but it is really worth the time. You can peel and dice your potatoes the night before, just place them in water, and refrigerate. Drain off the water before starting the recipe.

You can top your soup with any toppings you please. My family’s favorite toppings are the standard loaded baked potato toppings, cheese, sour cream, green onions and crumbled bacon.
