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!

This soup was absolutely delicious! I’m trying to be a bit healthier, so I only put in half of the Velveeta and it still came out super cheesy and yummy. I also added two little cans of hot green chiles and poured some Cholula on the top of my soup. Wow! Talk about spicy and really yummy!
Sounds amazing, vevvie!
Yummy! I can’t wait to try this. I’ve included your recipe in my recent roundup post on my blog, as well! :)
Just made this tonight for my boyfriend and I and it is SO delicious! Definitely making this again!
I’m glad that you and your boyfriend loved my slow cooker potato soup, Noelle! :) Thank you for commenting!
I am so happy to find this recipe. Very delicious looking. One thing: can you substitute the Velveta for real cheese? Or will it clump up too much?
Thanks!
Hey Laura! I’m so glad you loved it. I know that a few of my readers have used real cheese in place of the velveeta and they said it works very well. I would recommend buying a block of cheese and grating it yourself instead of getting the shredded stuff in the bag. Off the block seems to melt better! :)
Just curious, what size is your Yukon gold potato? Do you have an approximate weight for the 6 potatoes you list? I think I may get better results if I knew the difference of my large and your large! Lol. Thank you for a lovely recipe!
Made this recipe tonight with some cresonts soo yummy!
I didnt find the same potatoes so I’m afraid I might not use the correct amount. Can you tell me roughly about how many cups it would be when diced?
I love this recipe. I was wondering if you have an instant pot version for this soup ?
Debbie, I am working on an Instant Pot version, yes! I’m just not sure when I’ll be able to post it. Stay tuned!
