Crock-Pot Potato Soup

Add it to your slow cooker then walk away until dinner time. This Crock-Pot Potato Soup is the perfect potato soup, I topped mine with bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions.

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 – Russet potatoes are ideal because they break down slightly during cooking, creating a naturally creamy texture.
• Onion – Yellow or white onions work best, but a sweet onion can be used for a milder flavor. 
• Chicken Broth – Low-sodium broth works great to control salt levels. Vegetable broth can be used to keep the soup vegetarian.
• Salt & Pepper
• Half & half – For a richer soup, substitute heavy cream. For a lighter option, use milk, though the soup will be slightly less creamy.
• Sour Cream – Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for a slightly lighter option with added protein.
• Butter – Unsalted butter is preferred so you can control the salt level, but salted butter works fine if that’s what you have.
• Options for toppings – Bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions

Directions:

Step One – Add potatoes, onions, broth, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker.

Cook on low for 6-7 hours or in high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender.

Step Two – Add half & half, sour cream, and butter to the slow cooker.

Mix and mash. Use an immersion blender to blend soup until smooth.

Step Three – Serve the soup warm and finish each bowl with your favorite toppings.

Crispy cooked bacon adds a smoky crunch, shredded cheese melts into the soup for extra richness, and sliced green onions bring a fresh pop of flavor.

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.
