Cheesy Potato Soup

No matter what time of year, this cheesy potato soup is the indulgent dinner we all want. And slow cooker meals are a great way to have dinner ready right when you walk in the door.

This cheesy potato soup needs only 5 minutes of your time after cooking before it’s ready to eat! Think of this slow cooker soup recipe like a baked potato and add the same toppings as you normally would.

I love adding bacon bits, sour cream, and diced green onions on mine! This is a great hearty meal your family will beg for you to make again and again.

How do you thin out potato soup?

If your soup seems a bit thicker than you’d like, simply add more liquid! For this recipe, I recommend adding more chicken broth or heavy cream since they are already included in the list of ingredients for potato soup.

Can this soup be frozen?

Yes! I would recommend cooking prior to freezing as pieces of potatoes don’t typically freeze well.

Since there is dairy in this recipe, it may cause some separation so you’ll need to stir when you reheat it. If you’d like to avoid that, add the heavy cream after thawing it back out.

We like to store the soup in plastic bags and then reheat once we’re ready to eat!

How long will this soup keep?

This cheesy potato soup recipe will last 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze it for up to 6 months.

What goes with this soup?

You can serve all kinds of things with this soup! My favorite, however, is some kind of bread. For lunch, I love to make ham and cheese sandwiches to dip into the soup.

For dinner, a buttery roll is a perfect addition!

Can potato soup be left out?

No. Since this recipe includes dairy, you’ll want to make sure it is refrigerated within 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature of the room.

How to make this slow cooker soup

To get started, cut the taters into cubes and add to the slow cooker. Then, add the onion, chicken broth, and garlic.

Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 hours. Add the butter and puree the soup with an immersion or hand blender.

Stir in the cream and cheddar cheese; serve warm with toppings.
