Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Description
The Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup combines chopped Yukon gold potatoes with chicken stock, cooked bacon, and onion powder cooked slowly on low heat to soften the potatoes. A separate roux made from butter and flour is combined with evaporated milk, salt, and pepper and gently thickened, then incorporated into the cooked potato base. Greek yogurt and shredded sharp cheddar add creaminess and tang, melting into the soup for a smooth finish. Optional toppings such as extra bacon, sour cream, cheese, and chives allow for personalization.
The soup's texture is creamy with tender potato pieces and a subtle smoky undertone from the bacon. Cooking it in the slow cooker eases the preparation and helps meld flavors gradually. This soup makes a satisfying main dish or a hearty starter when served with crusty bread.
