Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the cubed potatoes and chopped onion into your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and cream of celery soup over the potatoes and onions.
  3. Stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Remove about 2 cups of the soup mixture and set aside.
  6. Add the milk and cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it reaches your desired creaminess. If you do not have an immersion blender, mash the potatoes against the side of the pot or use a potato masher.
  7. Return the reserved soup mixture to the pot if you blended it separately. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  9. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon for a loaded baked potato soup crock pot experience.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, use frozen hash browns instead of fresh potatoes; reduce cooking time slightly.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with heavy cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe works well as a dump and go crockpot meal for busy weeknights.
