    Slow Cooker Potato Soup

    During the cold winter months, there is nothing better than a hot cup of soup and sandwich for dinner. My daughter and I are addicted to a certain store brand potato soup that is super expensive and only feeds the two of us. I will splurge and buy us a container to split quite often.

    Yesterday was so cold here in Cincy and soup sounded like it would be perfect for dinner. I didn’t have time to rush off to the grocery to collect the ingredients needed for our favorite CopyCat Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup. I did have potatoes, cheese, and bacon so a Slow Cooker Potato Soup was the answer to “what’s for dinner?”

    I splurged a bit on myself over the holiday season and bought the KitchenAid Food Processor with the dicing attachment. So, I quickly diced my potatoes and lots of onion in my new kitchen gadget. Wow, I love that thing!

    The great thing about this cheesy potato soup is that you can cook it on low for 8 hours or cook on high for about 4.5 hours. I tossed my couple ingredients in the slow cooker and headed on a few errands.

    I used a sharp cheddar cheese in our soup because it always cuts back on the extra grease that you sometimes get from a mild cheddar. I am sure a mild cheddar would work great as well. Potato soup is never complete for me without the addition of bacon. I made some quick and easy pre-cooked bacon that I had on hand as well as some added flavor from the green onions.

      So, technically it’s not quite cool enough where I live for Crockpot soup recipes, but I don’t care. I’m going to say “to heck” with those silly traditions and put my Crockpot to use today for this luscious sounding recipe. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!
