Slow Cooker Loaded Potato and Cauliflower Soup

This Slow Cooker Loaded Potato and Cauliflower Soup has all the flavors you love from a loaded baked potato with a lighter twist!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs peeled and chopped russet potatoes
  • 1 lb raw cauliflower florets, for me this was about the amount of florets from a medium head of cauliflower
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • ¾ cup chopped celery
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 sliced scallions, divided
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups reduced sodium fat free chicken broth
  • 1 cup fat free half and half
  • ½ cup fat free sour cream
  • 8 slices center cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 oz 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (I use Cabot)

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes, cauliflower, onion, celery, garlic, one of the scallions, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper into your slow cooker and stir together. Pour in the broth. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours until the vegetables are tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until smooth (if you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches into a regular blender until smooth and then return to the slow cooker pot). Add the half and half and sour cream and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Top each serving with ½ ounce of shredded cheddar, a slice of the crumbled bacon, and some of the remaining sliced scallions.
