Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup Variations

Alterations for picky eaters

• Depending on how your picky eaters feel about bacon, you can keep it extra crispy. When you make it, make it extra crispy and then add it entirely at the end rather than having the potatoes cook with the bacon in the slow cooker.
• If your picky eaters prefer a creamier soup, use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes to make it even creamier.
• Use a cheese they love. Cheddar is a pretty good go-to for cheesy flavor, but if the sharp cheddar isn’t their favorite, you can use mild cheddar.
• Let them get creative with toppings!

Alterations to Lower Calories or WW points

You can totally make this point friendly!

• Use turkey bacon, bacon crumbles, or center cut bacon
• Use a butter alternative
• Use half regular evaporated milk with half fat free evaporated (you could also go with all fat free, but you’ll get a better result going half and half)
• Use non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• Use reduced fat cheese

Crockpot Loaded Potato Soup Storage

Once the potato soup has cooled, you can store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

To reheat, place in a saucepan on the stove top over medium heat. You can also reheat in the microwave, but be sure to heat gently because of the evaporated milk and cheese.

We would not freeze Slow Cooker Potato Soup. It’s not a recipe that stays firm well as a freezer meal.
