Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup

A creamy and flavorful slow cooker potato soup loaded with bacon and cheese, perfect for an easy comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1" chunks
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits, chopped
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, chives, additional bacon bits, and sour cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped bacon bits, chili powder, salt, pepper, and chicken stock to a crock pot.
  2. Cook on high for 6 to 8 hours until potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. About 30 minutes before serving, prepare the roux by melting butter in a nonstick skillet, whisking in flour and half and half until smooth, cooking for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
  4. Stir the roux and sour cream into the crock pot soup and continue cooking until heated through.
  5. Serve hot garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, extra bacon bits, and a dollop of sour cream as desired.

Notes

Make sure potatoes are well peeled and cut evenly for consistent cooking. Adjust salt to taste since bacon and chicken stock add saltiness. To make it thicker, reduce chicken stock or add a bit more flour to the roux.
