Instructions
- Cook the bacon. Throw 1-2 strips of bacon in a skillet. When crisp, remove them from the pan and save for later in the fridge. (You can reheat these in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm for garnish.) Save the grease.
- Add the onion and garlic to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Scoop into the slow cooker.
- Scrub and chop the potatoes into 1-2” pieces. (The smaller the bites, the quicker they’ll be cooked through.)
- Place the chopped potatoes in the slow cooker, and pour in the stock.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker, and cook on low for 7-8 hours. If you need your soup done faster, cook on high for 4-5 hours.
- Thirty minutes before serving, add the cream cheese and sour cream. Let them melt into the soup. Do not do this early or they will curdle.
- Blend in a regular-sized blender or with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- This recipe is very easy to double for a crowd!
- To make this soup vegetarian, skip the bacon and bacon fat. Saute the onion and garlic in avocado or olive oil. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock.
- How to store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Let the soup cool completely before placing in the refrigerator.
- How to freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let defrost in the fridge, then reheat in the microwave.
