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!

How is the soup with vegetable broth instead? I am making it for a vegetarian.
Any kind of broth will work, any kind of potatoes, any kind of cheese – this a wonderful soup and very adaptable
Any idea on how to make this on an instant pot?
YES! Monica, I have a recipe for that coming very soon. Be sure you’re signed up for my mailing list.
I wonder what happens if you put the cheese in at the beginning. … oops
Deanna your comment made me laugh. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done something like that when cooking! It happens! I hope you’ll try it again. :)
What happened I just did that same thing 🤦🏻♀️ PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW IT CAME OUT
I love this recipe. I added broccoli And some tomato sauce and it gave it a bit more flavor. Super yummy!
I used bacon flavored salt. It gave it a really good bacony flavor. Great soup, thanks for sharing!
This is THE BEST potato soup! Last time i made it i used a little more velveeta and a whole block of cream cheese as well. Oh. My. Goodness. ? everyone raved! I always serve with shredded cheese, real bacon bits, and green onion. Thank u so much. This has been a hit with so many relatives and friends!
Delicious!! I’ve been looking for a good potato soup recipe since having it for the first time at subway 2 years ago and this is the first one that has even stepped up to the plate!! Not quite subway potato soup but still sooooo good loved it!!
I was a little skeptical, but this was delicious. I used a 32 oz bag of frozen diced hashbrowned potatoes, and it worked beautifully–for those who want to make this even easier. It looked like a lot of garlic and onion, but ended up being perfect. I also threw in some precooked diced ham at the beginning and it added some yummy flavor and texture. I think my husband liked this best out of anything I’ve made lately. I can see this being good for a potluck. Thank you for a keeper recipe.
Love this soup and freezes well
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe!! I didn’t have heavy cream so I added evaporated milk ( I Googled it). This has become one of my family’s favorite meals!!
