Slow Cooker Bacon Potato Chowder
Like a loaded baked potato made into a creamy, cheesy soup! Slow Cooker Bacon Potato Chowder sounds like comfort in a bowl, doesn't it? Just a handful of pantry-staple ingredients and 3 steps make this soup so easy to make. The condensed cream of potato soup is what keeps things simple, making a rich and creamy base. Just add the potatoes, onion, bacon and chives and let the slow cooker do the rest. Stir in the cheese at the end and you're done! If you're really pressed for time (you can say you wanted the soup to look more rustic!), you can skip peeling the potatoes- it will still be delicious!
