Wouldn’t it be nice to come home to a BIG bowl of this?!
Crockpot Potato Soup
I’ve been hard at work this winter trying to perfect an easy Crockpot Potato Soup for ya’ll, and I think I’ve done it! This is just the way you like it…. Real ingredients, super easy, and the whole family loved it. I was hoping to have enough leftovers to freeze for later, but any leftovers disappeared by the next day, so I was outta luck.
HEALTHY TIP: This recipe calls for some half & half. If you are looking to lighten this up, feel free to substitute with low fat milk. It will still have that creamy feel, with less fat.
Crockpot Potato Soup
- Combine first potatoes, onion, carrots, broth, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper in crockpot.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours until vegetables are tender.
- Mash vegetables with a potato masher until you have achieve desired texture. I left a couple chunks, knowing my family likes a chunkier soup.
- Stir together flour and half-and-half or low fat milk and then slowly stir into crockpot.
Cover and cook 30 minutes longer or until hot. If desired, sprinkle bacon bits over each serving.

I have tried two of your crockpot recipies so far. They are amazing! Have you seen and/or tried the Ninja Cooking System? I received one for Christmas and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. It is so much more versatile than just a crockpot. Keep the recipies coming! 🙂

Made this today. Super yummy and easy! I used my immersion blender because I was too lazy to blend by hand 🙂 Made with homemade chicken stock I made in the crockpot the other day. Topped with some sour cream, cheddar, chives and bacon!
Corey says
YUM! I use the immersion blender often too. Love that thing!
John Thompson says
Corey, you suggested using low fat milk in place of half-n-half. I use low fat half-n-half and it tastes terrific. I also use low fat buttermilk, or fat free butermilk when I can find it.
Jamie says
I used almond milk in place of the cream, for a dairy free option. It turned out amazing! I thought being lactose intolerant, that I would never be able to have potato soup again. Now I make this all the time. Thank you!!
Corey says
Such a great idea Jamie! I think I might try it with almond milk next time 🙂
