Ingredients
How to Make Potato Soup in Crock Pot That’s Creamy & Full of Flavor
- Add the diced potatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken broth to the crock pot. Stir everything lightly so the potatoes are mostly covered.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are very soft. You should be able to easily break them with a spoon — this is what gives the soup its texture.
- Once the potatoes are tender, use a potato masher or blend part of the soup directly in the pot. Don’t over-blend — you want a mix of creamy base and small chunks, not a completely smooth soup.
- Add butter, heavy cream, and shredded cheese. Stir until everything melts and becomes rich and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. If it feels too thick, add a splash of broth. If it feels too thin, let it cook uncovered for a bit longer.
- Serve hot with optional toppings like bacon, green onions, or extra cheese.
