I haven’t been feeling well recently so I’ve been looking into soup recipes and thought I’d give this one a try since I love potatoes but haven’t made baked potato soup before.
I followed the recipe very closely except I was a couple hundred mLs short on chicken broth so I supplemented with water. It took me forever to chop the potatoes due to my current fatigue but I managed to stick through it. I cooked it on low for 8 hours and once that was done, took an immersion blender to it which made the soup so smooth and creamy. I didn’t want any extra chunks of texture so I blended the whole thing, but you can probably go easy on that if you prefer. Then I added the grated cheese and heavy cream using just a wooden spoon and it all mixed in and melted perfectly.
Topped with some light sour cream, fresh grated cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon bits, it tasted just like a delicious baked potato! No chives or green onions for me since they’re bad for my stomach, plus I didn’t miss them anyhow outside of the colour pop.
I’ve got plenty of leftovers and am looking forward to having more today as I continue resting.
Nice! [there’s a really easy slow cooker potato soup recipe I keep saved.](https://www.reddit.com/r/slowcooking/s/EjkeuYHidH) It uses frozen diced or shredded potatoes, so it would be even easier when you’re under the weather. I thicken it slightly with part of a pack of instant potato mix, and it’s easy to modify to your liking.
Feel better soon!

Looks good. I cheat and bake the potatoes first so I don’t have to peel them. I also add diced ham and use sour cream. Such an easy and hearty meal. Love smelling it cook all day.

I originally found the recipe in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/slowcooking/comments/lfh5mg/first_post_here_loaded_baked_potato_soup/) by u/swimmingpooloftears, where they thank u/Axel_VI for [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/slowcooking/comments/fp1zz3/loaded_baked_potato_soup_cured_my_hangover/), so thank you both! Your soup effects are being felt to this day.
