Crock pot potato soup …YUM, that’s all I have to say! A few weeks ago I was in charge of making soup for a church event and I asked my friends what to make. My friend Kristyn recommended her crockpot potato soup and it did not disappoint. It was so good, I decided to share it with you guys too. I adapted a few things, but overall this recipe is SO simple to make and super yummy. Just throw it all in a crock pot and your done. Seriously! Oh did I mention it’s super healthy too? Right…butter and cream. Shh don’t tell! ;)

This looks like one I make, except I only add 2 potatoes and then a head of cauliflower. This might be a good one for when company comes over and I’m not counting calories. yum!

It looks absolutely delicious Jamielyn! I’ve just gotten back from the store and have everything I need to make it for dinner tonight. My crock pot is patiently waiting for me to step away from the computer. Will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for sharing!

    Just wanted to come back and let you know that it was FANTASTIC!! I accidentally bought the shredded hash browns, but it was fine. Next time, I’ll get the chunks. Anyway, my whole family loved it, including my very picky son. Tonight was leftover night, so my daughter and I cleaned it up. It will definitely go in my favorite recipes pile. So glad you shared. Thanks!

Has anyone tried cutting this in half for a smaller crockpot? It looks delicious but I have a “crockpot for two”…

How long does it take for the potatoes to cook/soften? I started at 1:30, and they’re still pretty chunky. Thinking of switching it to “high” for an hour or so. Thanks!

  I cooked mine on low for six hours and the potatoes turned out perfectly soft! :)

I only have one can of cream of chicken, do you think I could use 1 cream of chicken, 1 cheddar cheese soup (campbell’s) and 1 cream of celery?
- Jamielyn posted on October 31, 2013 at 1:39 pm (#

  I think using 1 cheddar cheese soup would make it really yummy! It will change the flavor a little bit, but the consistency should stay the same. You’ll have to give it a try and let me know! :)

What is the pint half and half. I really wanna try this tonight

  Hi Katie! You can find Half & Half by the milk/dairy section at the grocery store! It is a mixture of milk and cream. Hope you enjoy it! :)

This looks awesome! I’m a vegetarian, so I’m going to try it with cream of mushroom soup (or maybe cheddar broccoli soup?) in place of the cream of chicken. Hopefully the flavors taste just as great!

  You’ll have to let us know how it turns out! I’m sure either one would be yummy! :)

How many cups of hashbrown potatoes should I use?

  Hi Julia! I’m not sure how many cups it is, but you should use the whole package! :)

Just wondering if you need to add a can of water as directed for each cream soup?

  Hi Kristina! You don’t need to add the water, the half and half and butter will be plenty of liquid! :)

Hi Jamielyn! How many does this soup serve?
- Jamielyn posted on November 24, 2014 at 8:10 pm (#

  Hi Laura! This soup should feed 4-6 depending on how hungry your eaters are. :)

I know someone who cooks this similarly, but they use some type of cheese to it, like, while it’s cooking. And it tastes realllll cheesy and loved it. But I want to try this.

  Mmmm sounds delicious! I love cheesy soups!

My little family won’t touch veggies (the boyfriend despises celery). Is the taste apparent? Could I sub a can of cream of cheddar, to give it a cheesy touch or would it be overwhelming?
- Jamielyn posted on November 19, 2014 at 5:59 pm (#

  The taste is not very apparent! I think the cream of cheddar would be too strong, but you could definitely try it if you like a lot of the cheesy taste! :)

Hi Jamielyn,
I was just wondering how many servings you get out of that exact recipe??? Thank you in advance , I will definitely try it , it sounds delicious!

  Hi Karyn! This recipe should serve 4-6 people. :)

I was so excited to do this recipe…. but really sadden to read that you use several can of soups in this recipe. I understand the logic behind that. But guess I am disappointed as I wanted to make from scratch I could just throw into the crockpot/slow cooker and not use already made soup.

  Hi Alex! I really like making the crock pot potato soup for an easy meal. Here is another potato soup recipe that I love that does not include cans of soup in it: http://www.iheartnaptime.net/potato-and-ham-soup/. :)

Hello! I made two big crockpots full of this wonderful recipe for a retreat for college students and they raved about it! Thank you for making such a lovely recipe that I could wake up and throw together before breakfast at the campground and have it ready for lunch! :)

My Walmart was out of frozen hash browns, so I ended up using 4 cans of diced potatoes per recipe and it turned out perfectly!

Your recipe looks amazing can’t wait to try it. This is a stupid question but want to make sure I’m right but does TB stand for tablespoon of butter?

  Yes it does! Hope you enjoy this soup! :)

With the chicken soup and celery soup do I add the can of water for each can of soup or just the soup?
- Jamielyn posted on May 11, 2015 at 3:45 pm (#

  Just the soup!

What size crock pot is this recipe for? I am thinking of doubling it unless it is already 6 qt. Size. Thanks!

  Hi Jen! I am not certain what size we used. I did a rough estimate based on the ingredients, and I think you’d be good to double the recipe for a 6 qt – but it might be very full. :)

  I have found it serves 4 to 6, depending on how hungry everyone is. :)

  You could, but it will be thinner and not as creamy.

the hashbrown size is 26oz. Do I add the whole thing?
