Late winter, early spring, is a great time to make a savory potato soup for when the winter refuses to leave! This is a new one for me, as we generally make a cheesy broccoli potato soup. Backed off with the usually peppery taste to make room for the grandbabies to enjoy...

How To Make mimi's loaded potato soup (crockpot version)

  • 1
    Combine the first eight ingredients in the crockpot and bake on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Remove the potatoes and mash with fork or mixer, depending on your consistency preference. Return to the hot broth in the crockpot that has been turned off.
  • 2
    Add the instant potatoes, just enough to get a semi-thick consistency. I generally put the whole package. Add the cheeses and melt/mix thouroughly, add the cream last. Season to your preference.
  • 3
    Serve with toppings of your choice!
