❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup
1. Can I use red potatoes instead of russet?
Yes, you can use red potatoes. The soup will have a slightly different texture and may be less creamy, but it will still taste good.
2. How do I thicken the soup if it is too thin?
You can mash some of the potatoes with a potato masher or use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup. This will naturally thicken it. You can also stir in a slurry of 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water and let it cook for 10 more minutes.
3. Can I make this soup dairy free?
Yes, you can use unsweetened almond milk or coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Use dairy free sour cream and cheese substitutes. The flavor will change slightly but it will still be good.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. You may need to add a splash of milk or broth when reheating as the soup will thicken.
5. Can I freeze this soup?
Yes, you can freeze this soup for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely, then transfer to freezer safe containers. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. The texture may change slightly after freezing due to the dairy, but it will still be tasty.
