Slow Cooker BBQ Loaded Baked Potato Soup

New England weather is always something you’ll hear people complaining about… it’s either too cold, too hot, too snowy, not snowy enough, too rainy… blah blah.

We New Englanders are never happy with the weather… it’s never just right.

When the rest of the US was enjoying their late spring day of sunshine and grilling outside last week. I was stuck in the house with some cold rainy days. I was also sick.

I had a little bit of  a predicament…

I was cold and sick… so I wanted soup and something hearty that would stick to my bones.

But because it’s late spring… I also wanted some BBQ… but with the rain and my cold I wasn’t going outside to cook!

This soup solved all my problems… It was hot, it was hearty, it had the BBQ flavor I was craving… and it was easy to make in my no fuss slow cooker!potato soup
