Skinny on Easy Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup
This easy, creamy, low fat potato soup recipe was chosen over many others recently when frugality met desperation.
I was desperate to avoid a trip to the grocery store. So decided to fix a simple supper with what was in the pantry - an onion, some potatoes, a can of evaporated milk, bouillon cubes.
And the refrigerator - a couple of carrots, a few stalks of celery, some green onion, bacon pieces, and a small hunk of cheddar.
I pulled out my Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook: 1400 Best Slow Cooker Recipes (affiliate link) since I was feeling especially lazy - and scanned for an easy slow cooker potato soup recipe that called for the ingredients I had available.
There were several to choose from. With a little mixing and matching I was able to cobble together my particular version of creamy potato soup. And even managed to make it Weight Watchers friendly!
It's hard to believe that a few humble ingredients and minimal effort can result in such a deliciously satisfying supper.

Here's a video from the crock pot girls showing how to make their version of Loaded Baked Potato Soup. It's very similar to this Weight Watchers friendly version if you just substitute canned fat free evaporated milk for the cream and less reduced fat cheese for the sharp cheddar...
