Here’s a recipe for Crock Pot Creamy Potato Soup, a rich and comforting dish that’s perfect for chilly days!
Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon (plus extra for garnish)
Optional toppings: Chopped green onions, extra shredded cheese, or parsley
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Place the diced potatoes and onion into the crock pot.
Add the chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
2. Cook the Soup:
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
3. Mash or Blend:
Once the potatoes are soft, use a potato masher to mash them slightly for a thicker soup, or blend half the soup using an immersion blender for a creamier consistency.
4. Add the Creamy Ingredients:
Stir in the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream until melted and fully combined.
Add the cooked and crumbled turkey bacon and stir.
5. Adjust and Serve:
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra turkey bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions.
Tips:
Make It Richer: Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream or milk for extra creaminess.
Vegetarian Option: Use vegetable broth and omit the turkey bacon for a vegetarian version.
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
