In the mood for some soup?

With the whole family not feeling so good and the somewhat cold weather we are having I decided to make some home made soup. I remember growing up my mom always making us soup and I loved it. But I really didn't have the energy to spend standing in front of the stove cooking it. So I found this recipe for Loaded Baked Potato Soup that you make in the crock pot. Got to love easy crock pot recipes!! So here it is.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup
serves 6

6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
1 large onion
1 quart chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, minced or chopped
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

1 cup cream or half n half
2 cup cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons chopped chives
1 cup sour cream (optional)
1/4 cup bacon, fried and crumbled

Combine the first 7 ingredients into a large crockpot and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low
Mash the mixture until potatoes are coarsely chopped and soup in slightly thickened. Stir in cream, cheese, bacon and chives.


Top with sour cream (optional) and sprinkle with more cheese.


It is super easy and very good.
