Thick, creamy potato soup with cheese, bacon, and sour cream. All the fixings. The way momma always made it but slow cooker style!
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a potato masher instead.
Guess I am the first. A very tasty and hearty soup perfect for the damp cold nights we having here now. The ingredients called for garlic powder, but nothing more mentioned of it in instructions. I opted to add during the second stage, when adding adding the bacon and cheese to the mashed potatoes. Will definitely be making again.
Read MoreI will make this soup again, BUT I want to hopefully help others from making a near disaster. This recipe is not suitable for a 3.5 quart slow cooker. I carefully weighed out 4 lb of potatoes and cubed them. Yes, they fit in the slow cooker, but there wasn't enough space to stir any of the remaining ingredients into the potatoes. I ended up using two slow cookers. Second, next time I will DOUBLE or maybe even TRIPLE the amount of chicken stock. My soup ended up so thick I can eat it with a fork. I made the recipe exactly as written.

Made a larger batch than the recipe called for, left out the carrots and vinegar and used chicken broth to achieve a nice, creamy, hearty consistency. Flavor was perfect, very much like restaurant-quality.
Turned out better than I expected. I'll be making it again... and again... and again. PS: As another reviewer mentioned, the garlic powder isn't mentioned in the steps. I added it in the first step with the salt and pepper.
Great soup The potatoes were cooked and ready to be blended after about four hours. I will try it with half and half instead of heavy cream next time
This recipe is delicious! I added 1 whole cup of cheese instead of half a cup because who doesn’t love cheese. Next time I think I will add some of the bacon grease to the butter when mixing in the flour, and maybe adding paprika for more taste. Delicious with chives, sour cream (or yogurt), additional cheese and oyster crackers on top!
Oh my gosh!! This is absolutely wonderful! I made a double batch using one beef and one chicken broth. Used smoke sausage vice bacon. Took some to my parents and they wished I'd brought them more than I did. Definitely recommend.

I struggled to find a Baked Potato soup that I love. I found it!!! I added onion powder and celery salt for a little more flavor but otherwise this is now my go to!!!
I used a white onion, two boxes of chicken bouillon to make it more soupy, chopped tops of one bunch of green onion for color, and one clove of shallot. The shallot ready adds a wonderful nuisance to the overall flavor.
I followed this recipe to the letter and the results were awesome! This made the best loaded bake potato soup I’ve ever tasted. This is restaurant quality. Thank you to the author of this recipe, Mallory, for such a great recipe. Awesome!
I put ham in it instead of bacon only because I was tired and didnt feel like cooking it. Lol Did my own tweeking and I impressed myself! Next time, will use bacon!
Best I have made! I've tried other recipes but they were too runny. This had the perfect consistency. I did not add sour cream and I used chives instead of scallions. That's the only 2 ingredients I changed. Can't wait to make again!
