Crockpot Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Added chicken breast for more protein. Per recommendations added more seasonings: Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder & salt/pepper. Made roux with brown butter. Definitely a fall staple.

I thought this was delicious! I do agree with some others that it was a little bland, but adding some things to it easily make it better. I added some garlic to mine, more salt, and more pepper. I also saw someone mention adding in some bacon grease. Not healthy by any means, but very good regardless lol

Needs more seasoning, but great base.

Delicious

I added Himalayan pink salt and white pepper.

I added garlic powder and onion powder, and made the rue with the leftover bacon grease and less butter. Definitely not a healthy meal, but delicious.

Added broccoli and more seasonings. Used beef bacon instead of pork and made the roux using the rendered fat instead of butter. Total hit.

Super easy and delicious!!! Added garlic powder!

Yum! It was a little thick after the roux and cheese, but thinned it out with chicken broth.

Fantastic recipe!

I used red potatoes 🥔 left the skin on 1/2 onion Added country ham chunks & cooked with potatoes (so yummy) Added salt, pepper, garlic powder & dill weed Topped with shredded cheese, chives & dill weed (no bacon since I added ham)

Originally tasted bland, just added salt and pepper.

I was going to double the recipe but just did half & added that to the original measurements called for. Added fresh broccoli too. Next time I’ll just double the recipe bc it was that good & easy! Pics are of leftovers lol

Easy to make and very thick and creamy. I followed one of the tips from the other reviews and added garlic powder.

Ours was too watery but that's my fault for adding too much liquid! Delicious.

Very good but needs to be heavily seasoned! I used garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Also added more chicken broth to thin it out a bit.

Was pretty good, will make again, just with more and different seasonings!

I'll try, but without the roux. I've never had a potato soup need it - their starch is thick enough!

Best Recipe yet! The family loved it!

I think I needed more broth but great!

Never can go wrong with potato soup and kids. It was gone before I could even take a picture. Definitely will be making again.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, Creole seasoning

Added 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and also Creole seasoning. Made it taste a lot better.

I've made several times better than canned soup

I mashed the potatoes a bunch before adding the cream. I also seasoned a lot more than the recipe calls for. Ended up really good. Left cheese and bacon on the side so folks could garnish the way they wanted.

I added a few seasonings after reading some other comments. Glad I did! So yummy!

Delicious! Definitely making again!

Bland as seasoned in the recipe, but I just experimented with some different spices and it was delicious.

Tweaked the recipe a bit. Added ground beef and more seasoning.

Very easy. Loved making almost as much as eating it. 100% can’t recommend enough

awesome dish! i ended up blended half the potatoes and i think that was great. not never much instruction on seasoning, i added garlic powder, oregano, parsley flakes, salt and pepper and dried minced onions.

I sweated bacon used leak added small cut up celery added small cubed potatoes and chicken broth with some bone broth slow cooked about 4 hrs on slow then used a hand blender to smooth all ingredients a bit left some texture added some cream heated all done my husband ate 3 bowls . Great for this cold weather loved it added garlic and carrots too

Seasonings aren’t included in the recipe so have fun! I added minced garlic, carrots, lawrys, lemon pepper, bay leaf salt and pepper! Add s&p after to taste! AMAZING! Next time I’m going to add cubed Black Forest ham chunks!

Added some spice (paprika, onion salt, and ground pepper) to the slow cooker. Overall this was very delicious!!! Will cook again

Blending or mashing the potatoes is definitely the way to go and adding more seasonings at the start is best

This was delicious! Will make again

Add cubed ham in next batch

I went off script with this. as I was making it, I realized that there were no seasonings listed lol so I followed the instructions up until adding the potatoes into the crock pot. at this point I added carrots and celery, though instead of carrots I think broccoli would have been nice. the veggies are totally up to your discretion I just wanted a little more instead of just potatoes. I also added salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, a bay leaf, onion Powder, and garlic Powder. when adding the sour cream mixture I also added cheddar cheese into the soup, though it's not really necessary. when serving I added parmesan cheese because why not.

Two thumbs up. When I ate mine, I thought of a chowder. I tend to not follow rules to receipes so here are my changes. 1. added turmeric rosemary and garlic salt 2. blended the soup without the meat because the potatoes didn't break down the way I wanted while cooking. 3. Added fish which added to the clam (fish) chowder experience 4. I can't recall of the original recipe included bacon and chives but I included them

Wow this was so good! I used a really high quality bacon which really helped enrich the flavor.

So good. Added some salt and pepper, oregano and parsley seasonings. Husband loved it.

Hubby said it was filling. I added crispy bacon and ground hamburger. Will use the same recipe

Add garlic and onions..

Read the comments! Add garlic, garlic powder, maybe some onion powder and less actual onion. I cooked the last 20 minutes with some of the bacon to give some flavor. If you tweak it, it's pretty good!

Read it was bland so I added potato slayer seasoning when first putting everything in with some season salt and it came out delicious. Also used bacon bits instead. Serving size even though it says 8 seemed very small so I added in two more potatoes and double my skillet ingredients and still barely had enough to feed us two adults and 4 little kids. Definitely no left overs

Soooooooo yummy. But. I used homemade stock ( 1pork:2veggie) no heavy whipping cream 1 stick butter with normal milk. I used powdered potatoes to thicken it up I only did this because I over did the stock. Had I thought it though I could have just added more potatoes.🤦🏼‍♀️

I was really hoping to give this one high marks, but even after doubling the seasoning (thank you comment section), it was still bland. If you add a bunch more bacon, green onion, garlic powder, and pepper it would be much better, but if rather find a new recipe next time.

Vary yummy and cheesy just don't add too many potatoes it takes longer to cook trust me

Onion powder instead of onions Cream cheese instead of sour cream

This potato soup was exceptionally good! It was not as easy as I thought it would be, but still it was real difficult.

So tasty!!! I doubled the recipe so we would have lots of leftovers. As the others mentioned, I also added seasoning... garlic salt was my choice and it turned out perfect...no one needed to add any extra salt. This recipe goes on rotation, definitely!

My husband loved this soup!! I noticed the comments about it being bland so I added onion powder, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning and it was delicious!

I felt it was a bit too much onion. Next time I will only add half an onion. Overall, after adding in extra salt and garlic like recommend in the notes this soup was pretty good.

So yummy! Seen some people say it was bland so I added a good amount of garlic salt instead of regular salt and it turned out perfect!

Definitely needed more seasoning. I added pink salt, lots of pepper, garlic and onion powder, but I also added real garlic along with the onions in the beginning. But it came out creamy and delicious.

It had a good flavor to it, but for it could use a little more seasoning but other than that it's simple, quick & easy, and a good hearty meal.

Super easy and basic taste. If you like soup and potatoes then it’s for you. I would add Extra bacon and cheese and Add more pepper. I suggest doubling this recipe if you want more than a bowl or leftovers.

Add more seasoning

Recommend doubling ingredients. It fed 5 as is, but there were no leftovers.
