03Once potatoes are done, mash some up with a potato masher. We like a lot of chunks, so we only mash about 1/4 of the potatoes.
04Add in sour cream, heavy cream, cheese and bacon (minus a handful to put on top for garnish). If soup is too thick, add enough of the remaining can of chicken stock to thin the soup. If it’s too thin, cook remaining baked potato in the microwave; scoop out, mash and add to soup. Each crock pot is different, so the required broth may vary.
05Ladle soup into bowls and add additional cheddar and bacon for garnish.
06* You may need up to 8 baking potatoes depending on the crock pot. Have an additional baking potato for use if soup is too thin or use leftover mashed potatoes.
07This recipe is versatile and you do not need to be overly concerned about exact measurements.
