Crockpot Potato Soup - The Redo

We liked the Crockpot Potato Soup I made a few weeks ago, but we had some ideas for making it better - mostly, add more bacon. :)

8 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
6-8 cups water
6 teaspoons Jamison soup stock
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
2 tablespoon onion powder
8 oz reduced fat cream of cheese, softened
1 pound bacon, crumbled
Shredded sharp cheddar
Green onion

Combine the first 6 ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours.  In the last hour, take out 2 cups of the liquid from the soup and whisk the cream cheese into it.   Add back into the soup. Just before serving, add about 2/3 of the bacon.  Use the rest for topping.  Serve with cheddar cheese and green onion.  

I made this in our larger crock pot and served 4, with enough leftover for David and I for lunch.  Could easily be cut in half.

Buffalo Chicken Soup

I found this recipe on Pinterest, then made a few changes to fit our tastes.

1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cans Great Northern Beans
Half bag frozen corn
1 can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
3 cups water
½ cup Otts Wing Sauce
1 package Ranch dressing mix
8 oz cream cheese


Spray crockpot with cooking spray and add all ingredients.  After 8 hours on low, take chicken out to shred then return to crockpot.
