Loaded Potato Soup

Soup night just got so much better with all the fixings of a loaded potato put into the crockpot in soup form!

This potato soup was the first potato soup I had ever made and it kind of ruined all other potato soups for me because it's simple yet so addictive. Minus sour cream, it has all the elements of a loaded potato that I love plus it has all the elements of a good soup base that I love (carrot, onion, and celery!). I have made it so many times. Sometimes I serve it in a bread bowl, other times I just serve it in a regular bowl. Regardless, it never ceases to amaze me just how tasty it is!

Recipe from Bowl of Cherrys

The best way to eat soup is out of Bread Bowls and I love this particular recipe. This creamy Houston's Baked Potato Soup from Copykat looks phenomenal.
