Creamy Potato Soup
This Crockpot Creamy Potato Soup couldn’t be any easier. It’s cooked all day in the slow cooker and is great for a cold day. Top with bacon, cheese, and green onions for the ultimate potato soup.
This Creamy Potato Soup is versatile – add broccoli or ham to give it a twist. This will become your go-to crockpot soup recipe.
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.

This is the creamiest, most delicious potato soup ever! My only question is, can you cook this on the stove top and how? and will it be the same as the slow cooker? We just moved and want to make this for. Friend who just had a baby, however, all our things are still in storage, including the slow cooker!
I was a little skeptical about 5 hours in because the potatoes didn’t look right for a potato soup. I used diced frozen potatoes and frozen chopped onions (I let them both thaw for a few hours first). I added a cup of mild cheddar cheese, extra salt and pepper, and let it cook for about an hour and a half more than the time it stated. I typically don’t take the time to leave reviews, but holy cow! This is the most delicious potato soup I’ve ever tasted and it’s so simple! We ate ours with crackers and microwavable bacon. Definitely saving this recipe for future use. So, so, so good!
Easy, quick and delicious! Have made it many, many times.
I have made this recipe for friends, church, and family. Many people have asked for the recipe, it is that good.
Awww thank you!
Made this last week was fantastic! I used a 6 qt crock pot but next time will make in a 4 qt. This was okay the night I made it but fantastic the next day, so like a lot of soups is better after sitting over night. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome!
I love everything about this recipe!
Thank you Mandy!
Excellent recipe for Potato Soup
Thank you!
Great recipe. Easy and yummy. Wonderful on a cold day when you don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking. Great base for add on’s, too, though we like it just like this. I use the toppings – bacon n, shredded cheese and chopped green onion. Add hot bread and a salad. Fabulous!
Ooh I like it all dressed up too!
Why would I be scared of cream of chicken soup? I haven’t heard anything.
Karyn,
I get a lot of slack if I use it in recipes because it’s from a can.
This is great! I make it all the time. To keep it vegetarian I use vegetable broth and I use Pacific foods brand Cream of Mushroom. I also like to add fresh parsley and chives towards the end. Thanks!
So glad you liked it!
I made this tonight and my potatoes didn’t cook/soften ☹️ I was so excited after reading all the delicious comments and the smell and taste is amazing, the only problem is that the potatoes still taste raw. Its been cooking for 9 hours now. What could I do to fix or avoid this next time?
Sounds like your crockpot it broken? Really there is no way that they shouldn’t be soften.
I love this recipe! My family thinks this is the best soup ever. 😊
Thank you Felicity!
Is there a way to adapt this to an instant pot recipe?
We love it and are wondering if there is a quicker way to make it.
I’m sure there is but I haven’t tried it.
An amazing, easy, comfort soup! Everyone loved it!
So glad you liked it!
Love this recipe! Can you freeze the leftovers?
I don’t see why not?
My husband requests this all the time! It’s great and I love how easy it is.
So glad you love it!
Can I make this the night before and plug the croc pot in the next morning to warm it up?
Yes, totally!
Is there a way to make this same soup in the instant pot?
Yes, You could definitely make it in the instapot but I don’t have exact times.
I’m confused is it 4 hours or 5-6? hours
Says two different things?
Thanks
Sorry! Looks like it’s fixed!
This recipe sounds very tasty. About how many calories is it?
I will add the nutritional info!
So how many calories and carbs are in this? I haven’t seen it anywhere. I’m making it tonight regardless, I was just curious.
Best ever!!! I make this in advance and take it camping…FAVORITE!! Thanks for this recipe!!!!
Awesome!!!!
Why did I never think to use cubed hash browns instead of peeling and dicing all those potatoes?! Great idea!
Ha. Yes. Genius!
Really want to try this! Can you recommend a side dish?
Soup goes well with bread and a salad!
This is awesome! The ultimate comfort food recipe! Makes about 4 good sized bowls. I left mine chunky. It was great. Very easy! Can keep all ingredients on hand. I used my small crock pot 2-3 quart. My husband loved it, too!
Sounds good!
Do you think if I double the recipe it would fit in a 5 quart crock pot?
Ooh. Not sure about that. Might be too much.
Yummy, yummy, yummy. Mine turned out much thicker tha traditional soup but I still loved it. Next time I will cook it only 3 1/2 hrs only though. Funny story. I made it for my Red Hat annual soup supper…its NEXT Sunday, not today. Can you say senior moment lol. My neighbors were the winners here. I absolutely will make it next week.
Oh man. Well at least you have the recipe tested!
It is good, very rich and somewhat expensive. Would never make for my family as definitely not a recipe if you are budget minded and looking for a truly healthy meal.
It makes a ton and I didn’t spend much money on this…hmm. Definitely not deemed healthy because of the cream cheese.
