A loaded baked potato, in soup form, in a bowl? Ok, sign me up! There are a few different ways to make this soup, and I have outlined the traditional recipe in this post. HOWEVER, you can 100% make this using my Crockpot Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe (linked below) How you ask? Simply make the mashed potatoes, scoop them out of the crockpot and add the chicken broth and half and half in the recipe below to get your desired consistency, then garnish with the toppings!
