For the love of Crock Pot cooking!
The best part is that the Crock Pot will do all the work for you! Okay, maybe not all of it because you still have to do some prep work but otherwise, that handy dandy Crock Pot does the cooking.
We cannot imagine our lives without our beloved Crock Pot! Jeez…we would actually have to slave over a hot stove all day instead of letting everyone think we have?!?
Ha Ha! Not on our watch!
Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup adjustments for dietary preferences
Okay so back at it. The versatility of our Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup is another huge bonus! Not only can we can we adjust the ingredients to make it low fat if need be but we can also turn this into a vegetarian meal if we have Mishawn down again!
If you are looking for a low cal or reduced fat diet, then there are variations and adjustments that you can do that will still make this soup a hit.
You can use reduced fat sour cream, and use vegetable stock instead of the chicken stock. We like using our homemade chicken or Homemade Turkey Stock for more flavor. You can also buy low sodium stock at your local store!
For a vegetarian version simply swap out the vegetable stock vs the chicken stock. There are a bunch of ways, depending on the person, to replace the smoky flavor of the bacon, if desired.

The prep work of our Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup
The prep needed for this recipe is to cut and peel then cube your potatoes, onions, and garlic. Then it is a matter of measuring out your ingredients and placing them into the Crock Pot.
The crock pot does most of the work but it can’t cook the bacon or make the roux.
While the soup is in the crock pot, cook up about 8 strips of thick cut bacon. Then, about 30 minutes before serving, make the roux to thicken it. See directions below. Rest assured, the roux is super easy to make, yet this is part of what makes a soup so creamy!
A roux is a French cooking term that is a thickener made from equal parts fat and starch or flour. The roux is what gives a soup or gravy its creamy texture.
