My family and friends are posting pictures on Facebook of snow and and cold temps, and while it’s just beginning to feel like Fall here (ha ha you all!), I know a lot of you are in the same boat (or maybe I should say the same igloo?!).
Well this is the season where our slow cookers get worked overtime, and we’ve got a delicious and easy recipe from eMeals to share with you:
Loaded Potato Soup
6 slices bacon
32 oz package frozen diced hash browns
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic chopped
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or basil
1. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towels; crumble and set aside.
2. Combine hashbrowns, broth, onion, seasoned salt, pepper and garlic in a lightly greased 5 to 7 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 9 hours.
3. Stir in half-and-half; mash with a potato masher to desired consistency.
4. Serve with bacon, Cheddar cheese, sour cream and chives.
Serves 8
I left out the onions, garlic and chives/basil just for personal preference.

This would make an amazing dinner and the perfect cheat meal for me. Now that the weather is getting colder, I'm ready to bring on the soups!
I hardly ever use my slow cooker, but this recipe looks delicious!
That looks wonderful! We're creatures of habit, so we pretty much just do roast in the crock pot!
Mmm…potato soup. It's always a great comfort food for the winter time!
We live on potato soup in the winter time! Yours looks SO yummy.
My favorite soup is potato soup! Just love it. And not sure why, but I've never made it in a slow cooker before.
This was one of the most popular things on the menu at a place I worked in the early 90's… and it still looks awesome 🙂
What a great fall recipe. Looks perfect for those cold winter nights.
That looks so good! I'd love to try it soon when it's cold out. Thanks!
I make a lot of chicken noodle soup using ramen noodles. Your soup is on the weekends menu.
I'm loving the sound of this recipe! No peeling potatoes! Yay!
That looks great! I love that it was made in a slow cooker!
I LOVE crockpot potato soup. I will have to try your version 🙂
I love crock pot meals. Great for those days when you need something simple and easy.
Genius use for frozen hashbrowns. I LOVE potato soup pinned and wish I had a bowl in front of me right now 🙂
I love baked potato soup and that looks delicious.
Oh my goodness this looks delicious!
My family loves soup. My dad gets the loaded baked potato soup at Bob Evan's EVERY TIME he's there. I'll have to tuck this recipe away for the next time they come over for supper.
Looks yummy! I am going to try this recipe
Yum! I love potato soup but have only had the kind in the can. I will have to try this recipe – sounds easy enough.
I never would have thought to use hash browns in soup!
This recipe looks so delicious! I can see why so many people loved this post last year. Definitely pinning it; can’t wait to try it this winter!
