3 Reasons Why You’ll Love This Crockpot Loaded Baked Potato Soup Recipe
- It’s made in a a slow-cooker – I love a good crockpot recipe, there’s just something so satisfying about adding all of your ingredients, letting it cook all day, and then getting to enjoy its perfection when the time comes. It’s like putting your dinner on auto-pilot!

This Crockpot Loaded Baked Potato Soup is the latter – thick, creamy, hearty, and guaranteed to fill you up. This is a crave-worthy hot meal that’ll hit the spot on chilly days.
- It’s macro-friendly – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at a soup recipe and felt disappointed with the macros. Most soups, especially those that are cream-based, tend to be high in calories and low in protein. This soup, on the other hand, uses bone broth which gives it a beautiful boost in protein content while keeping the overall calories low, making it an easy fit into your day.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken bone broth

Instructions
- In the crockpot, add the diced Yukon gold potatoes and diced onion. Pour in the chicken bone broth, ensuring that the potatoes are mostly covered. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 3-4 hours, , or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

- Carefully remove the lid and use a potato masher to gently smash about half of the potatoes in the crockpot. This will help thicken the soup.
