I tweaked the recipe some, especially since it didn't give a guesstimate weight for the potatoes and potatoes vary in size, but there are still some recommendations I would make different than what I did. Please see recommendations at the bottom of the recipe.
This is the recipe as I made it:
Loaded Potato Soup
variation of this Momspotted recipe
- 3# golden potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1t pepper
- 4c chicken stock
- 1.5c heavy cream
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Crumbled bacon
- Dried chives to garnish
1) Add potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken stock, and pepper to crock pot. Cook on low for 7 hours.
2) Add heavy cream and puree using an immersion blender. Cook on low for another 30 minutes.
3) Add desired toppings and enjoy!

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- First, I thought this tasted good, but more like onion than not. I would strongly recommend using have the amount of onion, or even completely omitting the onion in the soup and just using chopped green onions atop the soup as a garnish.
-Another alternative would be sauteing onion slices and adding them to the soup as you puree (to add a different flavour), or dicing the onions, sauteing, and adding as a garnish on top.
- The cheese on top was good, but I really think it could have used some cheese inside the soup, especially with omission of the onion.
I would recommend something more along these lines:
Loaded Potato Soup
Same instructions except I would add the 2c shredded cheddar after pureeing the soup, stir well, and let cook another 30min on low.
