Yum! The toppings make it look even better!! I need to start using my slow cooker more!
Oh my goodness you totally should use your slow cooker! I adore mine…I don’t know what I would do without it. It’s a lifesaver and timesaver…perfect for active busy parents who want to serve yummy meals!
At least more than once a week, I realize how badly I wish we lived next door to each other.
This. I am going to pin it and pray that Cassidy sees it and makes it for me for Valentine’s Day.
I’ll do dessert!
I would make sure to feed you well if we were neighbors 🙂 I hope he makes it for you…you will totally love it!
Yum – 2 of my favorite things combined – baked potato soup and the crock pot!!!
You and I must be kindred spirits…they are both my favs, too!
Yum! I love anything that has anything to do with potatoes. I also love my slow cooker. This is on my “to try” list. I hope your having a great Friday!
You are going to LOVE this!! It is totally amazing. Seriously.
Potato soup is one of my favorite cold weather dishes! I never really thought about making it in the slow-cooker! Thanks! And I love the bowls you have them in!
Thanks Tracey! It is also a fave of mine and when I make this in the slow cooker, it tastes just as good, if not BETTER then when I slave over the stove for an hour and a half!
Your loaded baked potato soup would be perfect for all the cold weather we are having. Thanks for linking up at Saturday Dishes “CROCK-POT” blog hop.
I pinned it.

This looks awesome! I have a potato soup recipe but it is way different so I am going to have to try yours out!
Ohh…I made this last night and had it for dinner. It really is delicious!
Any way you make potatoes makes this girl happy. Being from southern Idaho where the potatoes are grown, I love potatoes. And potato soup is one of my favorite ways to eat them. I see bacon bits in the list of ingredients but I don’t see where they go in. Thanks for sharing at Saturday Dishes.
Ahhh…this is why I need an assistant! LOL. Thanks for pointing that out, and it is added in during Step 2. I have updated it to reflect the oversight. Thank you!!!
I love my slow cooker too! This soup looks delicious. Thanks for linking to the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party. Hope to see you next week.
Found this recipe a few months ago while I was away at school and it DEFINITELY de-stressed me during finals week. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I am so glad! I LOVE baked potato soup 🙂
PLEASE tell me where you got those adorable bowls.
I have had them for a while, but they were purchased from a Southern Living party several years ago. They came with a matching tray and pitchers. Super cute! 🙂
Have you ever substitued chicken broth for the boullion and water? I just ask because I’ve found chicken broth that has lower sodium than boullion.
That’s a great question! I have not, but I am sure it would be fine to do so. 🙂
Could milk be substituted for the half and half?
You could do that, but it will take a way a little from the richness of the flavor.
