Baked Potato Soup is a favorite in our family and prior to finding this amazing recipe on Pinterest. I have always cooked baked potato soup with flour, butter and lots of milk! The recipe I am now using contains no milk! Yes, you did hear that correctly…NO MILK! Not only does this recipe contain no milk but it is so easy to cook. I will also admit that this recipe taste a lot better than the one I was using before.
Ingredients:
5lb bag of potatoes
1 white onion
2 tbs. of fresh garlic (powdered works fine as well)
64 oz. of chicken broth ( I use two 32 oz. boxes of chicken broth)
Cream cheese 16 oz.
Sour Cream
Bacon
Green Onions
Shredded Cheese
Salt
Pepper
Instructions:
Dice up potatoes into small pieces. The recipe calls for 5 pounds of potatoes but I find that 2.5 to 3 is more than enough for my family of 5.
Chop up onion and garlic.
Add the potatoes,onion and garlic to the crock pot.
Pour chicken broth over the potato and onion mixture until onions and potatoes are completely covered. Don’t worry if you didn’t use all 64 oz. but be sure to save it for later.
Put the lid on and cook on low for six hours. I then cook the potatoes on high for an additional hour to two hours or until potatoes are soft.
Add chicken broth to the crock pot as needed. I usually ended up needing to add a few more ounces throughout the cooking.
Once the potatoes are tender you will transfer the potatoes and broth to the food processor. You may have to do this in several batches depending on the size of your food processor. Puree the potatoes and onion mixture while adding the cream cheese. Once puree top with bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream and green onions. We usually eat this with fresh sourdough bread.
Tip: I reserve some of the potatoes and manually mash them up and add them to the puree. I like my baked potato soup a little lumpyand this does the trick.

It really is the easiest way to make this soup. The way I used to make it was time consuming and took 8 cups of milk.
I have to try this. I bought my very first crock pot a couple weeks ago and have been looking for recipes. Your baked potato soup looks delicious!

Alison you have to try this! Bake some fresh bread or buy some and you have the perfect meal.
That sounds sooooo good! I’v been looking for a good potato soup recipe lately. I’ve tried so many at some many different restaurants and none of them have hit the spot, so I’ve been on the hunt for a recipe to try out. This just may be the one! It look fantastic!

I just made it last night and it really never gets old. Last night I did make the mistake of not adding enough of the chicken broth with I was running the soup through the food processor. It ended up being a little thicker than I like.
I feel so left behind in the crock pot craze. Mine is neglected in my appliance cabinet in the basement… for all those appliances that rarely get used.

Honestly, I don’t use my crock pot that often. My family really does not like most foods cooked in the crock pot. However, when I do find one I love I really do cherish it.
