Creamy, Cheesy, and Loaded Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crock Pot

Add the diced potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken broth, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 2: Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 3: Blend and Thicken

Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, creating a creamy base while leaving some potato chunks for texture. If you don’t have an immersion blender, mash some of the potatoes directly in the pot using a fork or potato masher.

Step 4: Add the Creaminess

Stir in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix well until the cheeses are fully melted and the soup becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Add the Bacon

Stir in the crumbled bacon, reserving a small amount for garnish.

Step 6: Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra bacon, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
