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.
If you are interested in additional soup recipes, I highly recommend this creamy broccoli cheese soup or chicken tortilla soup.
One of the things that I decided to omit was the bacon crumbles. Â I personally didn’t think this needed them as a topping, but you can add them if you want. Â
Just remember that this will affect the overall Freestyle points value.

Yes, it probably can be although I never tested that.
Can the Almond milk be replaced by regular milk?
Thank you. I’m not sure how you only got 7 cups. I was able to get 12, so maybe it was the size of the potatoes? Really not sure though.
This soup was awesome!!! I do have a question though. I was only able to get 7 cups of soup when following the directions. What could I possibly done wrong? Any thoughts? Thanks……
