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!

OMG! Best potato soup ever! I added cream of mushroom soup, used 1lb of Velveeta, 2 cups of cheddar and cajun seasoning. My family loved it!
My family loved it!
This is sooo good! My family who doesn’t even like potato soup normally, ate all of it! I added a little bit of chopped celery and carrots and it was delicious!
The first time I made this recipe it was so easy and perfect! This time I made it and it didnt thicken up! I keep looking at the ingredients and I don’t see anything I forgot! What could it be!?
Love this Recipe!! I forgot to comment last time I made this for the wife and kids. This time the end result was the same as the last. Anytime I can find a recipe that results in zero leftovers and zero complaining by any of them….It’s a winner for sure!! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I made this recipe twice in the last month and everyone LOVES it!!! I did add about 4 more potatoes because we like a lot of substance in our soup. I also used great value equivalent of Velveeta and flavor was just as good and over $3.00 cheaper. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for commenting on the great value Velveeta! I will try it.
Finally a good basic potato soup recipe!! Making it for the second time today.We loved it.
Went deliciously. Served with some baguettes. Thanks for the recipe!
Made this tonight. It was excellent and so easy. Thank you!
This recipe is probably going to be my favorite now. It was absolutely amazing! Better than any cheddar potato soup I have ever tried!
