If you love loaded baked potatoes, you'll love this Crock Pot Loaded Bacon Baked Potato Soup recipe that is the perfect texture and full of flavor with classic toppings! This is Great for a slow cooker dinner or game day food!I am such a sucker for creamy, comforting soups. Sometimes I like the snowy, dreary days because it gives me an excuse to make one like this Crock Pot Loaded Bacon Baked Potato Soup. We have had a very snowy winter so far, well above our average here in Rochester.

I read someone post the other day on social media how sometimes snow days are a gift because it stops the world and is a sign for us to take it all in and take things just a little slower. Next snowstorm I hope I can look at things this way instead of seeing the snow as such a nuisance like I normally do.

I do tend to enjoy the lazy days at home staying in my pajamas all day and just getting things done around the house. Don’t hold me to this. Mr. Wishes! I know I’ll regret ever putting that out there. Ha!

Let us get back to this Crock Pot Loaded Bacon Baked Potato Soup. It’s obviously not diet food by any means, but we all need and deserve a meal like this once in a while, am I right? You can cook it up and leave it sitting on “warm” in the slow cooker and your family can fill their bowls as they want to throughout the day.

I know with super bowl coming up, this could be an awesome food idea to have out for people to nibble on throughout the game. Appetizers are fun, but people always appreciate something different like a delicious soup!

You can put out the various toppings for the soup next to the crock pot and your party guests can add whatever they like. I think it’s a brilliant idea and I just might do this!

This soup has the perfect thick consistency – more so than any other potato soup I have tried. It’s hearty, filling, and to die for!
