Crock-pot Loaded Potato Soup

I recently have been really into crock-pot cooking. I don't know if it's because it's fall or because I live in Colorado, but lately I've been obsessed. I have been making this potato soup recipe and I've decided to share with you all!

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes - peeled and diced into small/medium squares

1 small can of cream of chicken soup

1 box (32 oz) of chicken broth

1 block of cream cheese

1 cup of shredded cheese

bits of turkey bacon - I cooked mine and then tore it into little pieces

salt and pepper to taste

Optional:

1 onion - shredded (I like to shred mine, you can dice or chop it up however you want)

1 carrot - shredded (you can choose to do what you want as well)

1 stalk of celery - shredded (same as above)

You don't have to add in the turkey bacon or the vegetables but I find that it tastes best with all of them. You can add in any additional vegetables to your choosing. 

Directions:

1. Add in all your ingredients into the crock-pot.

2. Cook on high for about 3-4 hours or low 5-6 hours. Keep an eye on it because I made one batch and it came out like mashed potatoes (LOL!) and another batch where it needed more time to cook.

3. I sometimes top it off with a handful of shredded cheese just cause I love cheese.

4. Enjoy :)
