CREAMY POTATO SOUP
I’m not handling this cold weather gracefully.
I know my husband (and in-laws) dreams that someday we will move to Colorado but I really don’t know if I can do cold weather.
Like really. Today it was 39 degrees here in Florida and I wanted to huddle in a ball and do nothing all day. Is that normal?
Or are some people invigorated by the cold weather? I braved the cold during my college years and I don’t think I took off my pea coat the entire four years.
This Creamy Potato Soup has a really high taste to effort ratio. Sure I have this Creamy Chicken and Potato soup but this one is so easy!
HOW TO MAKE CREAMY CROCKPOT POTATO SOUP
You literally throw all of the ingredients in and walk away.
If you’re someone who gets scared from the one cream of chicken soup in this than you can make this Creamy Ham and Potato Soup. It’s great too.
Then if you’re a mean mom like me you’ll make your kids stir in some steamed broccoli. They actually didn’t mind at all.
Supposedly this is a Paula Deen recipe but I could not find the original recipe for this Creamy Potato Soup anywhere but I saw this at Worthy of the Prize. Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY POTATO SOUP
- In a slow cooker, combine potatoes, chicken broth, soup, onion, and pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. If your potatoes are still in big chunks you need to cook it longer. They will start falling apart when it’s ready.
- Add the cream cheese and cook 30 minutes or until cream cheese is melted, stirring occasionally, until combined.
- Top with cheese, bacon, or sliced green onions if desired.

I love the people who are deeming this “unhealthy and expensive”. Um, if you are worried about the calories, then stay away and for the ones who said it was expensive, for about $15 or less you make this depending on whether or not you are adding ingredients or leaving some out. So, if you are feeding a family of four, it comes out to be about $3.75/ serving, about half the price if you went out and ate with your family soooooo, what’s the problem? I think it was delish! I added a bag of frozen peas and carrots and changed the cream of chicken to a condensed cheddar cheese, and changed the chix broth to veggie stock (I’m a veggie, that’s why I had to modify) then added a bit more shredded because I like cheese. That is all the modifications I made and it was super great! I paired it with some nice warm rolls. I originally was going to buy a bag of potatoes and go that route, but, then I saw this and figured why not give myself a break? Glad I did! Thank you for a simple, easy to modify and inexpensive meal idea!
So glad you did!
