Like a loaded baked potato made into a creamy, cheesy soup!  Slow Cooker Bacon Potato Chowder sounds like comfort in a bowl, doesn't it?  Just a handful of pantry-staple ingredients and 3 steps make this soup so easy to make.  The condensed cream of potato soup is what keeps things simple, making a rich and creamy base.  Just add the potatoes, onion, bacon and chives and let the slow cooker do the rest.  Stir in the cheese at the end and you're done!  If you're really pressed for time (you can say you wanted the soup to look more rustic!), you can skip peeling the potatoes- it will still be delicious!

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 4 cans (10.5 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Potato Soup
  • 4 1/3 cups milk (you can use the empty soup can to measure instead- it's 4 soup cans)
  • 2 large white potato (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Try this beer and Cheddar twist!  Replace 1 soup can milk with 1 bottle (12 fluid ounces) beer.  Proceed as shown above.  Set out bowls of shredded cooked chicken, more crumbled cooked bacon, sour cream, chopped fresh chives, diced avocado, croutons or your favorite potato toppings and let your guests create their own perfect bowl!

  • Step 1

    Stir the bacon, onion, soup, milk, potatoes and 1/4 cup chives in a 6-quart slow cooker.  Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 2

    Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or until the potatoes are tender.

  • Step 3

    Add the cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.  Season to taste.  Sprinkle with the remaining chives.
