01
Step 1
Start by placing the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with salted water, and bring it to a boil. Let them simmer on medium-low heat until they’re tender, which should take about 10 minutes, then drain them well. Next, toss the cooked potatoes into your slow cooker along with the chicken broth, processed cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, cream cheese, white onion, and green onions.

Step 2
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, turning it now and then, until it’s nicely browned and crispy—this usually takes around 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let it cool for a few minutes before crumbling it into the slow cooker.

Step 3
Set your slow cooker to High and cook the soup for about 2 hours, stirring every now and then until the potatoes start breaking down. Then switch the heat to Low and let it cook for another hour and a half or so, until the soup thickens up and all those flavors come together beautifully.
Why you’ll love it
This soup is warm, comforting, and full of rich flavors. It combines creamy potatoes with cheesy goodness and crispy bacon, making every spoonful satisfying. Using a slow cooker means you can set it and forget it, perfect for busy days.
How to serve
Serve this soup hot with extra shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and a dollop of sour cream. Pair it with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
Storage & leftovers
Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep it creamy.
