CROCKPOT 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 easy potato soup recipe has a really high taste to effort ratio. Just throw it in the Crock Pot and you have a delicious soup. Sure I have this Creamy Chicken and Potato soup but this one is so easy!

INGREDIENTS

• FROZEN HASH BROWNS POTATOES – you can use shredded or diced potatoes. Some people like to use fresh here. Just use the same amount doesn’t really matter what kind of potatoes as long as you cook them until fork tender.
• CHICKEN STOCK OR BROTH – you could also use vegetable broth here. I like to use low sodium chicken broth so I can control the salt.
• CREAM OF CHICKEN – makes it a thicker soup but has so much flavor.
• CHOPPED ONION – I like to use yellow onions here.
• PEPPER
• CREAM CHEESE – adds that creamy base to the soup. There’s no heavy cream or sour cream so this is the creamy factor.
• TOPPINGS: cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions

HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT POTATO SOUP

1. In a slow cooker, combine potatoes, chicken broth, soup, onion, and pepper.

2. 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. You don’t have to use an immersion blender. In fact, it’s good with a few chunks.

3. Add the cream cheese and cook 30 minutes or until cream cheese is melted, stirring occasionally, until combined.

4. Top with cheese, cooked bacon, or sliced green onions if desired.

HOW TO MAKE POTATO SOUP

This is the best potato soup recipe with a creamy texture. Add some extra cheese on top to make it an out of this world cheesy potato soup.

If you’re someone who gets scared from the one cream of chicken soup in this than you can make this Creamy Ham version of 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.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge!

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 DO YOU MAKE POTATO SOUP NOT BLAND?
