Potato Soup is one of my families favorite soups. I love making it on my stovetop or in my slow cooker. This is one soup every member of my family will eat seconds on.

Topped with bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions this soup is comforting, filling and so very tasty.

How to make Crock Pot Potato Soup:

As with most slow cooker recipes, you dump all your ingredients into the slow cooker and let it to its magic! On this recipe dump everything in but the sour cream and heavy whipping cream.

You will add those two ingredients in near the end of the cook time. Use an immersion blender to blend and make super creamy.

Ingredient Notes:

  • Russet Potatoes
  • Onion (diced)
  • Chicken Broth
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Sour Cream
  • Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Options for toppings: Bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions

Make this soup on the stove top:

This soup can easily be made on the stove top if you don’t have slow cooking time.

Start with the potatoes, broth, onions, salt, and pepper. Since you will have more water reduced n the stove top when cooking it faster add 1 extra cup of broth.

Once tender remove from heat add sour cream and whipping cream and mash and blend until smooth. Serve topped with the same bacon, shredded cheese, and diced green onions.
