Step 6: Blend (Optional)
- For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the potatoes, leaving some chunks for texture.
- For a chunky soup, skip this step and leave the potatoes as they are.
Step 7: Serve and Garnish
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Sprinkle the remaining crispy bacon on top.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
- Garnish with chopped green onions.
Tips for the Perfect Slow Cooker Potato Soup
- Potato Choice: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for creamy texture.
- Bacon Flavor: Don’t skip crisping the bacon—it adds a smoky depth.
- Make Ahead: The soup can be prepared in advance and reheated; flavors improve overnight.
- Variations: Add carrots or celery for more depth, or top with sour cream for extra richness.
The Slow Cooker Creamy Potato Bacon Soup is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting dish perfect for any season. With minimal hands-on time and maximum flavor, it’s a slow cooker favorite that the whole family will love.
If you want, I can also make a faster stovetop version that takes under 30 minutes but keeps all the creaminess and bacon flavor.
Do you want me to do that?
