❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Loaded Baked Potato Soup (Crock Pot)

1. Can I use red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes instead of russet?

Yes, you can use red or Yukon gold potatoes. The soup will still be creamy and delicious. Russet potatoes are starchy and break down more, giving a thicker texture, but other types work fine.

2. Can I make this soup dairy free?

You can substitute the whole milk and heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk or oat milk. Use a dairy free cheddar cheese alternative. The texture may be slightly thinner, but it will still taste great.

3. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave. You may need to add a splash of milk when reheating as the soup thickens when chilled.

4. Can I freeze this soup?

Yes, you can freeze this soup. Let it cool completely, then transfer to a freezer safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stove. The texture may change slightly upon thawing, so stir well.

5. Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely. You can add chopped carrots, celery, or even some frozen corn or peas. Add them with the potatoes at the beginning of cooking for a heartier soup.
