You will only need a few tools to have success with this recipe and you most likely already have them in your kitchen.

• Crockpot or Slow Cooker– This is the main cooking item you will need to make a crock pot loaded potato soup recipe! It can be an oval crockpot or a round one, it does not matter.
• Immersion Blender is a really handy tool to have. It is great for gravy, soups, and smoothies! Any time you want a creamy texture and don't want to drag out the blender, this is the perfect gadget.
• Peeler most of us remember the metal potato peeler we used at grandma's, right? Well, after working in a kitchenware store, I learned what chefs prefer and that is a horizontal peeler!

Combine potatoes, onions, garlic, chicken broth, and bouillon cubes in your crockpot. Cook on high for 5 hours (or low for about 8) until potatoes are fork tender. 

With an immersion blender, begin to puree soup mixture. Cut cream cheese into thirds and add to potato mixture and blend until completely smooth. 

If you do not have an immersion blender, you can do same process in a food processor or blender. 

Serve with your favorite baked potato toppings:

• crumbled bacon
• cheese
• green onions
• sour cream
