Fall is here in South Carolina and the 100-degree temperatures of summer are finally gone! There is a chill in the evening air and it’s the perfect time to start making great fall and winter dishes! I love soups and stews and one of my favorites is this loaded potato soup! This soup is hearty and will definitely warm you up when it’s cold outside! And it’s a slow cooker meal, which means that it’s easy…and it will make your house smell great!
When cooking with my slow cooker, I love making soups and stews because they are a great way to incorporate some super healthy bone broth.  You can use as much or as little bacon as you like! You can never have too much bacon….!
This soup is both gluten and grain-free, so it’s perfect for people eating either way.
