Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe
This easy, cheesy potato soup recipe is the perfect comfort dish for those chilly winter months or anytime you're craving something delicious!
- 6 large peeled Yukon Gold potatoes cut in 1/2 -inch cubes
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4-6 cups cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cold milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1 pound Velveeta Cheese cut into chunks
- Bacon fried and crumbled, optional
- green onions optional
Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and the chicken broth to a 4 quart or larger crock pot, stir and cook on high for about 3 ½ hours.
Whisk the 3 tablespoons of flour into the 1 cup of cold milk until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the potatoes, add the ½ cup heavy cream, stir then cover and cook for another 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Add the chunks of cheese and allow to melt. Garnish with bacon and green onions.
Note: This recipe calls for 4 cups of chicken broth. You can add another cup at the end if you find the soup is too thick for your liking. If you're shopping for a slow cooker, this one is my favorite.
