Slow Cooker Potato Soup

It is officially fall now, so we can talk soup all the time, right? Even if the temperatures are still a little warm. I love soup so much, though, that I will eat it all year round, not just in the cooler months.

This Slow Cooker Potato Soup gets another vote because it is made in the slow cooker, which makes dinner a cinch. This is such an easy meal, and super delicious as well. My favorite part of this recipe – the thing that makes it stand out from other crockpot potato soup recipes – is the cream cheese that gets added in at the end. It makes the soup super creamy and decadent. You’ll never want to go back to a regular potato soup!

How to Make this Crockpot Potato Soup

It doesn’t get easier than this slow cooker potato soup. You start by putting your peeled and diced potatoes in the slow cooker, followed by onion, garlic, seasonings and chicken broth. You could sub in vegetable broth if you want to make this vegetarian. Cook until the potatoes are tender. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, or transfer to a blender to process until smooth.

30 minutes before you are ready to serve the soup, add in some cubed cream cheese. Let the cream cheese melt, stirring a few times.

To serve, top with your favorite baked potato toppings – cheese, chives, bacon, or any other toppings you would like.

Tools Used to Make this Slow Cooker Potato Soup

I have a version of this slow cooker, and I love it because it has a low, medium and high setting.
You can either mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a blender. I love this potato masher, or if you choose, this is the blender I have and love!

Description

Cream cheese added in at the end makes this Slow Cooker Potato Soup super creamy and super decadent! This crock pot soup has all of the flavors of a baked potato in a comforting soup.

Scale

Ingredients

5 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced in 1 to 2-inch chunks
1 small onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 quarts chicken broth
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, green onions, or chives as garnish (optional)

Instructions

Put the potatoes, onions and garlic into a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle in the seasonings and pour in the chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. You want a smooth soup. You can also transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches. If the soup gets too thick, you can add in more chicken broth to thin it out.

After smashing the potatoes, add in the cream cheese. Cook on high for 30 minutes, or until the cream cheese has completely dissolved, stirring a few times throughout the 30 minutes.

Serve garnished with crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, green onions or chives.
