This slimmed down version of loaded baked potato soup is a comforting & delicious recipe that’s ready in only 20 minutes! It has everything you love about a baked potato – sour cream, cheddar, bacon and chives, at a fraction of the calories!
This loaded potato soup is made entirely in the slow cooker and tastes just like a loaded baked potato, yet is lightened up! To a 4 quart or larger slow cooker, add bacon, potatoes, onion and chicken stock and stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are very tender.
Not all low-carb soups are keto appropriate. In this case, a veggie packed soup may have too many carbs for the strict counters, but for general low-carb eaters, there's a lot to like in this soup. First, it has all the comfort of chicken noodle, but with far fewer carbs.
Kiolbassa’s dry-cured peppered bacon is the perfect product to use in this hearty keto potato soup! It’s thick cut and has minimal shrinkage, so it will hold up really nicely when you prepare it and cut it up later. We cook the bacon strips whole on baking sheets with parchment, then cut it up into bite sized chunks later.
