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!

SERIOUSLY SO GOOD!!! I substituted 1lb sharp cheddar for Velveeta and put in two jalapenos. TASTE WAS TO DIEEE FOR. I’m making it for the second time right now >:D
I’m enjoying every drop of this soup as I’m typing. Easy to make and beyond delicious. All four kids (one who is super picky) are on second helpings. This is officially part of our Soup for Sunday rotation. “Mom you need to make more of this someday”. -7 year old daughter
Yay, I am so happy that your kids love this recipe! Thanks for commenting! :)
Can cornstarch be substituted for flour for those requiring gluten free?
Hi Virgina, I haven’t tried it so I can’t be sure, but, I think it will work. Let us know how it turned out if you give this a whirl.
Yes, just use half as much cornstarch, compared to flour. Cornstarch has more thickening power than flour, so if a recipe calls for 2 TBSP Flour, use 1 TBSP.
Can this be made on the stove ?
I did mine on stove as I wanted it to be faster than on the crockpot my two toddlers asked for seconds!
This was very good my family loved it, I added bacon in while cooking also
So very cheesy and good.
The best soup I’ve made! We added corn as well. This soup has so much flavor!
Ooh, corn in it was good I’ll bet!
I never comment on these things but I just tried this today and it’s AMAZING! Tastes just like favorite (at chili’s) but so easy to make at home! My husband just tried it and his eyes lit up. Thank you!
I dont think I’ve ever commented on a recipe, if I’m honest, but my family absolutely loves this recipe! My 8 year old had his bowl up to his lips drinking every last bit of it and has been begging me to make it again! lol
We’re making it again and I’m attempting to make a bigger batch this time so maybe we’ll have leftovers! I’m noting the shredded cheese tip for next time as I don’t usually cook with velveeta but make an exception here! Thanks for the great recipe/pin!
Thank you for the nice comment, Britt!! Glad you love it!! :)
I am obsessed with Bob Evan’s potato soup, but the closest one to me is an hr away! I’m so excited to try this but will regular potatoes work I can’t find the ones listed at my grocery??
Hey Kara (love your name, it’s my daughter’s!) any potatoes will be okay!
