I love to make a crockpot meal on a cold winter day, and there is something extra satisfying about a warm and creamy Potato Soup from a crockpot. I have adapted my recipe for Potato Soup from the Southern Living Slow-Cooker Cookbook. This soup is comfort food at its best.
Potato Soup
6 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 3/4 pounds)
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup (4 ounces) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Toppings
6 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream, optional
Shredded cheddar cheese
Combine potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken broth, butter, salt, and pepper in a crockpot. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 8 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
Mash mixture until potatoes are coarsely chopped and mixture is slightly thickened; stir in half-and-half, cheese, and chives. Makes 12 cups. Serve in bowls, sprinkled with toppings as desired.
Start by peeling the potatoes and chopping the onion.
I weighed the potatoes after they were chopped so I would be sure that I had 3 3/4 pounds.
Combine the potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken broth, butter, salt, and pepper in the crockpot. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, then slightly mash some of the potatoes to thicken the soup; add the half-and-half, cheese, and chives.
Top with sour cream, bacon, or cheddar cheese as desired. This Potato Soup is easy to make and so satisfying.

This looks like the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day ( like we are having). And to be able to make it so fast and easy in the crockpot makes it perfect. Happy New Year!

Hi Anita! I'm happy to say you've been featured again….I just posted the Your Cozy Home party features. Guess who's potato soup is there? 🙂 Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
I love potato soup but have not made it, in the crockpot. I am not sure why but you have inspired me to do just that. Beautiful soup and I appreciate your linking it to my soup linky, last week.
Hi! I'm featuring this at this weeks Tasty Tuesday party!! Come on over and grab a featured button. http://nap-timecreations.blogspot.com
Sounds easy and yummy – just my kind of recipe! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm going to pin it so that I can try it next week.
This was delicious! And so easy. Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! I am always looking for new blogs with easy recipe ideas to follow and I just stumbled upon yours while sipping on my Sunday morning coffee! I cook meals (mostly breakfast, but dinner too) for the South Charlotte CMPD every other Saturday, and I'm always racking my little brain trying to think of new ideas. These hungry officers will need a little more than soup to fill their hungry appetites, but I'm sure I'll find just the right thing on your blog. Thanks!
Looks so good, I Looooooove potato soup

Being an Idaho girl, I love potato soup. It's such great comfort food. I hadn't ever used half & half in it. I bet that gives it a creaminess to it. Thanks for sharing at Saturday Dishes.
