Finally finished my Halloween costume, wooo! Do you make a costume or buy one at the store? I used to buy one when I was younger (well, my parents bought them, obvi) but ever since I made one a few years ago (River Song!) I haven’t gone back. I don’t like make them, make them. But more like source the pieces I need and make the pieces I can’t find. It’s a lot of fun and makes Halloween start a little earlier! They might not look super professional, but they’re still nicer than the cheap, borderline throw-away costumes you buy a store. Watch the `gram for photos on Friday!
Clearly, I’m too busy hand stitching costumes, so I don’t have time to make dinner. Or, I’m just selectively lazy. Take your pick. Potato soup is one of those soups I think is just so dreamy. The creamy texture, the carrrrbs. And then topping with sour cream, cheese, green onions, and veggie bacon? Perfect easy, peasy dinner.
I never have a problem getting potatoes to cook in a slow cooker, but I know from looking `round the internets that some people do. My advice is not to overfill your slow cooker and not to open it too frequently. The steamy pressure is necessary to cook properly! That being said, I definitely opened this up often so I can inhale all of the delicious smells.

Mmmm you’re right, this does sound like a dreamy, creamy soup 😀 Potato and celery is just such a great pairing in soup 😀 And the presentation is so good 😀 *wants*
Josh was a little leary of adding celery (because he hates it!) but I agree – it’s a natural BFF for potatoes!
Potato soup is one of the best, comforting soups around. I love that you made yours loaded with all of those delicious toppings, too! 🙂
Homemade costumes are the best! When I was younger we always put together our own and I really don’t like that people just go out and buy them these days, it is totally cheating! Sadly, I didn’t wear a costume this year, but I did eat a lot of candy! I just had a loaded baked potato the other day and I was thinking about how great a soup like this would be! It is getting cold here these days and this soup sounds perfect 🙂
I made this today with sweet potatoes……SO SO GOOD!!! And easy!! Thanks for this keeper 🙂
Yum! That sounds like a delicious swap. Glad you liked it!
I am making this- I get so excited when I see a non sweet potato potato recipe. Bacon, cheese and…you’ve got a winner here.
Nothing against sweet potatoes, but I like to celebrate all of the delicious varieties of tasty potatoes 😀
This looks RIDICULOUSLY amazing – yum!
Oh, I love baked potato soup and it looks delicious with all of those toppings! And you can’t be using a slow cooker- brilliant!
I rarely dress up for Halloween but the last time I did was for a 5k. We dressed up like 80’s workout people so I guess you could say I made the costume.
I’d love to know what yours is!
Waaaaait, what’s your Halloween costume?! I MUST know! I absolutely love seeing homemade Halloween costumes and am so not creative when it comes to that kind of stuff. I need to do fun thinks like stitch my own costumes. This crock o’ potato: glorious! It’s been super chilly here so I’m thinking a big steamy crock pot meal is in order.
I love soup especially baked potato. This is the perfect soup weather. Can’t wait to try! Thanks
Potato soup is so soothing to me! It just screams comfort food!
I have a few sweet potatoes to use, and now I know how!
I’d never think to try sweet potoatoes! Let me know how that turns out 🙂
I am a BIG fan of homemade costumes. Mostly because all the ones you can buy tend to be “SEXY {insert random profession here}” and that’s not really my style. Can’t wait to hear what you’re going to be!!
Also, totally loving on this soup. I haven’t had potato soup in far too long and I’m super into this healthier version.
Yeahhhh, I’m REALLY not a fan of the sexy whatevers and even saw “Sexy Olaf” this year. Like, seriously? Sexy snow man? Prob not necessary.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! Love potato soup! pure comfort!
Potato soup is my jam. I love how creamy and filling it is. Yours is full of goodness and yum! I might even add some jalapenos in this!
Jalapenos! That’s the perfect addition! I wish I had more leftovers to top with those.
I’m on a total soup kick. This looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see your costume!
Soup is SO fantastic as it’s cold. Plus it’s nice and easy to pull together while taking care of your new baby 🙂
In the past, I’ve both purchased my costume and made it… though I haven’t worn a costume on Halloween since college. Because life. And working on Halloween. (And actually photographing trick-or-treaters, which is fascinating, let me tell ya!)
That being said, I’m super curious what your costume is now. And I really want a bowl of this soup. It’s finally chilly-ish in Dallas (this morning, at least!), and I want to celebrate the weather by having all kinds of wonderful comfort foods like this here soup. Baked Potato Soup is a long-time favorite, and making it in the slow cooker is brilliant!
My coworkers actually questioned if I was going to trick or treating when I mentioned my costume. Dressing up – not just for kids! Promise 😉 P.S., not trick or treating for the record! lol
