Slow Cooker Skinny Loaded Potato Soup is perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day, but also any time you’re wanting healthier comfort food! I love an easy crockpot soup for the busy days. Just delicious and so easy.
My mom makes the best soup. Â Try her Creamy Chicken Soup and you’ll know I’m right! That soup is amazing, and my all-time favorite…the only problem? It isn’t healthy. Â I’m all for comfort food and I think good food should be splurged on, but when you’re able to eat a bit healthier, that’s never a bad thing.
She came up with this Slow Cooker SKINNY Loaded Potato Soup…and I’m hooked.
I’ll splurge on the chicken soup once a month and eat this every other day of the month. Â It’s so good!
Making small changes in the healthy direction doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor. Â The men in our family all ate this up and couldn’t even tell it was skinny.
We thought this was a cute recipe for Saint Patrick’s Day without being toooo themed. Â Sometimes the holiday themed recipes get to be a bit too much for me. Â So I’ll resume those tomorrow. :)
I’m so honored to have this recipe featured in Albertson’s newsletter, The Weekly Nibble! You can find all sorts of delicious healthy recipes for every occasion there. Â Please check it out and let me know what you think!!
