I’ve been on a real soup-kick lately and this ultra-creamy crock pot potato soup recipe is one that my whole family loves.
Crock Pot Potato Soup Recipe
Before anyone says it, yes, I know that Crock Pot is a brand name and that most people these days say slow cooker instead.
I just can’t help it, y’all. A crock pot is a crock pot to me, even if it’s not a Crock Pot. Who’s confused? HA!
No matter what you call the magical kitchen appliance that it’s cooked in, you’re going to love this cheesy and delicious potato soup recipe.
The pound of Velveeta cheese in this soup pretty much means it tastes perfect. Yep, I said it. This potato soup is perfect!
This soup actually reminds me of the cheddar baked potato soup from Bob Evans which I’ve been obsessed with for many years.

If you’re a huge fan of slow cooker recipes, don’t miss my easy crock pot pork chops.
I love to add some fresh chopped green onions and crispy crumbled bacon to the top of my crock pot potato soup, but it’s certainly good without anything added!
I know it can be sort of overwhelming when you go online to look for great family recipes.
You can never tell which ones are going to be winners and which ones are going to be losers, and frankly, ain’t nobody got time for loser recipes!
Trust me, this potato soup is both easy and delicious.
If you love potatoes and cheese, it’s really a no-brainer.
Oh, and SO MANY of you have asked me for an Instant Pot version of this recipe. I’m so happy to share my Instant Pot Potato soup! Don’t miss it!
I’ll love you forever if you Pin this recipe before taking off, and be sure to let me know how much you loved it in the comments below!

Which cheese we can use instead Velveeta ?
A cheddar and monterey jack blend would be good.
I substituted cheddar cheese for velvetta, adds a diffe Flavor to the soup!
Hi I’m confused on do you do step 2 at the beginning of 30 mins before it’s done lol someone help I’m making it now
AFTER 3 ½ hours on high OR about 6 hours on low, do step 2. Hope this helps! :)
This asks for velveeta… can I use regular cheese? Same amount?
Hi Dany, that should work!
Dany – How did this work out using a pound of shredded cheese instead of Velveeta? This is what I’d like to try.
Made this last week. Best potato soup I’ve ever had. We had everything on hand but the onions and bacon so I didn’t bother with those two things and it was still amazing. Hearty, creamy, and the family wanted seconds! Definitely a staple soup in this kitchen.
Hi Cassie, thank you for commenting and I’m so glad you love the soup! :)
Makes me so hungry to look at photo of soup. Will need to save other 2 recipes. We love soup for supper in warmer weather, that way not eating heavy meal but eating nutritious food. Will enjoy this soup very much. When people get older often don’t want or need to eat big meal. I will be 77 in July and hubs was 75 this past Oct.
Enjoy your weekend
