PIN IT FOR LATER!

Nothing warms you up like a big bowl of hot soup! Serve this Crockpot Potato Soup up with some Dinner Rolls or Cheesy Garlic Bread for the perfect cold night dinner.

There is nothing like a warm bowl of creamy soup. And while I love a good stovetop soup, (like this Chicken and Gnocchi Soup), soup in the crockpot has got to be my favorite.

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 It

It doesn’t get easier than this crockpot potato soup.

You start by putting your peeled and diced potatoes in the slow cooker, followed by onion, garlic, seasonings and chicken broth.
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.
Serve it up!

Favorite Potato Soup Toppings

This soup is actually good enough to serve on its own, but there’s nothing better than serving it up loaded potato soup style!

Here are some ideas for toppings:

shredded cheese
chives
crumbled bacon
fried onion strips
sour cream
sliced green onions

Tips and Tricks

Make this vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I like the flavor the chicken broth brings, but both are great!

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Potatoes tend to get grainy after freezing, so I don’t suggest freezing this soup. It’s best enjoyed fresh.

This soup can easily be made on the stove top if you don’t want to let it cook all day in the slow cooker. Just cook until the potatoes are tender, mash, then add the cream cheese.

Description

Cream cheese added in at the end makes this Crockpot Potato Soup super creamy and super decadent! This slow cooker 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.
