Instructions
Up to two days in advance, bake potatoes in the oven or on the grill. Scoop out the insides, and discard the peels until there are 8 cups. Dice cooked potatoes into smaller pieces.
In a large 6-quart slow cooker, add the potato flesh, diced bacon, diced carrots, diced ham, salt, black pepper, green onion tops, and chicken broth. Stir.
Add the cover and set the heat to low for 6-8 hours.
Thirty minutes before serving, add the sour cream and cubed cheese. Stir. Once the cheese is melted and sour cream is warm, it is ready to eat!
Ladle into a bowl and add whatever toppings you want. Enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: Use russet potatos or gold potatoes for best results. Wrap potatoes in tin foil, and bake until potatoes soft. Note 2: Bake the bacon strips in a 350 degree F oven on a baking sheet covered in tin foil. Add a wire rack to allow the grease to drip off the bacon while it cooks. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until done. Note 3: Use lactose free sour cream if lactose is not tolerated. Storage: Keep leftover soup in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to four days. Stir before heating. Freeze: Chilled soup leftovers can be kept in the freezer in a freezer-friendly container for up to four months. Defrost before heating. Reheat: Heat in a microwave safe bowl, or in a saucepan in the stovetop heat until warm. Stir halfway between cooking time for even heating. Add toppings after it is warm.
