Easy Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
• 4 chicken or vegetable bouillon cubes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 cups water
• ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Optional Toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions or chives, chopped bacon, sour cream, etc.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except evaporated milk and cheddar cheese in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW until the potatoes are fork tender. This will take about 7-9 hours on low (or 4-6 hours on high).

When ready to serve, mash soup with a potato masher or hand-held immersion blender to your desired consistency. Then stir in the milk and cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted. Taste and check for seasoning, adding more salt and/or pepper if necessary. If the soup seems to thick, you can thin it with a little more milk or water.

Serve with your choice of toppings.
