CREAMY POTATO SOUP
I’m not handling this cold weather gracefully.
I know my husband dreams that someday we will move to somewhere colder but I really can’t 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 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 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!
FRESH POTATOES
If you don’t want to use frozen potatoes you can use fresh potatoes like Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes. Dice the potatoes and continue with the directions.

HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT 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, cooked bacon, or sliced green onions if desired.

Has anyone made this in the instant pot? This is my favorite soup and I would love to try it, but don’t know if it would be the same if I sped the process up!
Yes it’s delicious my girls love it and am here cus am getting the receipt to do it again lol
Made the creamy potato soup today. It is delicious and so easy to make! Will definitely be making it again!
Loved this! I also did the cream of bacon and it was insanely good. Ill admit, I was a little skeptical with the frozen hash browns, but clearly I shouldn’t have been!
Cream of bacon is genius!
This is very convenient! Im making this now. Im making double so that would be good for all of us lunch today and tomorrow. Good meal prep too!!! Just scoop and go! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Brother really loves this so I’ve made it several times. It’s real easy to throw together and has a good flavor.
I agree! It’s an easy good one.
Wondering if I could add chicken breast to this soup in anyway if I have boneless/skinless breasts! Suggestions?
Yes, I would throw that in when you start the recipe.
I have made this many times over but have a question. I am going to be making this for a family after a funeral service. I need to make it for that reason the day before and then just refridgerate in the crockpot overnight. Do you think it will reheat well? Thinking start out on high and keep and eye on it. May also have to add some water/ cream or milk if needed. Thanks
Yes, that will work. I’m so sorry about losing your loved one. That is so hard especially in a time like this.
Excellent recipe. Made this recipe several times during Lent.✝️ Thank You!😊
So happy to heat that!
I’m so sorry! I see now that it is posted! Thank you! I can’t wait to try this!
The ingredients list doesn’t include cream cheese! Do you just use one 8 ounce block?!
Can I substitute the cream cheese for Greek yogurt? Looking for something with less calories!
Yes. It will be a little more tart though!
I made this and it was delicious! The last time I made it I didn’t have any cream cheese so I used sour cream. But my biggest change was to replace cream of chicken with cream of bacon! I think the bacon flavor is really good in potato soup.
Great idea!
Great recipe… And my kids loved it, which is a miracle…I did use Cream of bacon soup instead because I was to lazy to go to store…lol…
Sounds delicious!
I liked this receipe! I used the cream of chicken with herbs, I added the spices I wanted & extra pepper and diced ham. My only question is this: when I added the cream cheese, either my soup was maybe too hot (my crock pots all seem to run super hot) or something because it didn’t melt, very small bits but not melted 100%. Otherwise, this was a very flavorful quick and easy soup!
Keep stirring it and the cream cheese will melt.
I used sweet potatoes instead and added celery and a few carrots.. by far the best soup I’ve ever tasted in my life,thanks for the recipe
You are welcome!
