Loaded Potato Soup Recipe (Slow Cooker Version Included)

So, Louisiana finally decided to have a winter! YAAAAAAY!!! Chile, I had to hurry up and make my soup for you before Summer returns next week. Seriously, we were wearing flip flops for Christmas. I can’t express how excited I am to make this Loaded Potato Soup for my Cookies! 

I’m challenging myself to give you guys slow cooker recipes this whole month! Yes, babies!! I’ve gotten your emails and messages for more “Crock pot recipes”. You know, I gotcha!

You can definitely use this recipe and make the soup on the stove for a shorter cooking time. Just make the roux, add in the liquids and potatoes, simmer for 25-30 mins, throw on some toppings, and ya done! This recipe is just plain simple. And the taste….lawwwwwd! Just make it and see for yourself. 

Love,
