It’s the middle of November, and that means it’s time to fire up that slow cooker again.  This lightened up slow cooker potato soup is creamy and delicious – and perfect for warming up your heart and soul.  It’s only 4 Freestyle points per serving, 1 cup.  

There have been so many different recipes of potato soup floating around lately.  I definitely think this is because it’s a comfort food, and perfect for the winter weather.  

But I always thought potato soup would be too many Freestyle points on Weight Watchers, so I never thought to make it myself.  Little did I know that I could lighten the recipe up for a delicious creamy potato soup – that doesn’t taste like it’s been lightened up.

One of the things that I decided to omit was the bacon crumbles.  I personally didn’t think this needed them as a topping, but you can add them if you want.  Just remember that this will affect the overall Freestyle points value.

To make this lightened up slow cooker potato soup:

Place the first 8 ingredients in the slow cooker.  Mix together and cook on high for 6-8 hours.  Once the potatoes are cooked, mash them with a potato masher.

Serve immediately with the toppings:  cheese, plain greek yogurt, and chives on top.  If you choose to use bacon crumbles, this will affect the SmartPoints value.
