6-Hour Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup with Bacon, Cheddar & a Creamy Mashing Trick

Laura walks through her easy crockpot loaded potato soup from start to finish โ€” russet potatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, and cheddar cheese cooked low and slow, then partially mashed for a thick, chunky texture. Topped with crispy bacon and green onions, it's a baked-potato-in-a-bowl experience with almost zero hands-on effort. Great for busy weeknights or cold-weather comfort eating.
