CROCKPOT POTATO SOUP Recipes

A hot bowl of Crockpot Potato Soup is like being wrapped in a warm hug- comforting, cozy, it just makes you feel good! My simple Crockpot Potato Soup offers all of that plus a little decadence! Crockpot Potato Soup is a fantastic fix it and forget it option on a busy winter’s day when you want something warm to come home to.

The layers of flavor from the bacon, veggies, and chicken stock are amazing and compliment the velvety cream sauce perfectly! The Crockpot Potato Soup Paula Deen makes uses cream cheese and frozen potatoes. I prefer the texture of real potatoes and the smoothness of heavy cream. While I love the convenience of a slow-cooker, if you haven’t got time to wait, check out my Easy Potato Soup for a faster stovetop version!

WHAT IS CROCKPOT POTATO SOUP?
A basic Crockpot Potato Soup recipe is simply a creamy potato soup made in a slow-cooker. Recipes call for different forms of potatoes like Crockpot Potato Soup with instant potatoes. Others, like Crockpot Potato Soup with hash browns, use frozen spuds. I like using real potatoes and heavy cream for the best taste and texture!
