Ingredients
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage links, cut into slices
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet Hollandaise sauce mix
  • 1/2 cup bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
  • 4 large eggs, scrambled
  • Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Skillet (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine the Base Ingredients: Place your sliced breakfast sausage, diced potatoes, and the entire can of undrained diced tomatoes into the bowl of your slow cooker. Give them a gentle stir to distribute everything evenly.
  2. Prepare the Broth: In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the chicken broth. Add the minced garlic and the dry Hollandaise sauce mix. Whisk everything together vigorously for about a minute until the sauce packet is completely dissolved and no lumps remain. This step is key to a smooth, flavorful broth.
  3. Cook the Soup: Pour the broth mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Secure the lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. The low and slow method is perfect for setting up the night before to wake up to a nearly finished breakfast.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Once the soup has finished cooking and the potatoes are tender, ladle it into individual bowls. Top each serving generously with a portion of the fluffy scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of the crispy, crumbled bacon. Add a little shredded cheddar if you like, and serve immediately with toast or biscuits for dipping.

Notes

For deeper flavor, brown the sausage in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or red potatoes as they hold their shape better. You can swap sausage with ham or plant-based alternatives, and add vegetables like onions or spinach. For a creamier broth, stir in heavy cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
