Crock Pot Potato Soup
Stay warm and make some creamy potato soup right in your crock pot!
Ingredients List:
- Potatoes, diced
- Cream cheese
- Chicken broth
- Minced garlic
- Minced onion
Do I Have to Peel the Potatoes? Actually, it’s your choice. I have made this with peeled potatoes and unpeeled potatoes. Both ways are delicious!
Can I Use Fresh Chopped Onion & Garlic? Yes. I do recommend soften them both up in a skillet beforehand.
Can I Use Unsalted/Low Sodium Chicken Broth? Yes. Check in the recipe card for the brand I prefer.
How to Make:
- First, add diced potatoes into the crock pot. Then, add in minced onion, garlic and chicken broth.
- Cover and cook.
- Next, cut up the cream cheese into cubes. Stir into the potatoes. Continue cooking until the cheese if fully melted. This should take approx 30 minutes.
- Once the cheese is melted, puree the soup to desired consistency. You can do this using your immersion blender.
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a hand potato masher or carefully, transfer the soup into a regular standing blender, then, return it to the crock pot to keep warm.
Topping Ideas:
- Chopped bacon
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

I love warm and cozy soups like this and absolutely love that you can do it in a slow cooker!
My favorite soup ever! Saving this recipe!
Didn't like this soup!! It had to much garlic powder in it. We had it tonight. Not Great.. 🙁

So sorry the soup didn't work out for you Sarah! Hope you can enjoy something else from our recipe index.
I am making this right now thanks for the recipe it looks so yummy! I love the Cream cheese idea too!
Thank you! Enjoy 🙂
I leave it in the crock pot and use a hand mixer. Why do more dishes?
Good idea..whatever avoids dishes is fine by me 🙂
I'm cooking it right now (it smells fabulous). I have some bacon in the freezer. I think I'll get it out and use it as a garnish as shown in the picture. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Thank you Kat! Hope you enjoyed it!
Do we have to puree it? Im a major fan of the potatoe chunks in my soup… would it taste the same if i just added in the cream cheese after softening it?
I think you would be ok..I have only made it via the puree method. So, you would have to give it a try..please let me know how it works out 🙂
I tried this didnt add the garlic like the recipe called for and it was really good. A great addition is artisans cheese bread turned into grilled cheeses.. Made enough to freeze for later.. I also added a few carrots…
Glad you enjoyed it..great idea with the carrots and the cheese bread sounds delicious!
Sounds gorgeous, gonna give it a go before the weekend. Thanks 🙂
Thank you..hope you enjoy it!
I always add the cream cheese to my potato soup with a can of cream of celery soup or cream of mushroom, (your choice). I usual make it on top of the stove and slowly add the soften and cut into small cubes. Crumbled bacon, green onions,shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream…with fresh cracked black pepper…YUMMY
ok,now, I want your soup for lunch 🙂 Yum!
This sounds yummy. Been making potato soup for years as my son thinks it's a cure all when he's ill. Will have to try the cream cheese next time. Thanks for the tip.
Potato soup would make me feel better too 🙂 Thank you for stopping by!
Would you happen to have the calorie count……………and the other nutritional data? I'm on a strict diet and have to count my calories.
Hello pleasantp, I do not have the calorie count at this time, but, I will look into and reply back..thank you for visiting!
@ pleasantp- I was able to get a general idea…Based on the soup feeding 8-10 people, you would be looking at 300-400 calories per serving. This is purely my estimate, it could be more or less. You can check out many recipe calorie counters online to check out the exact amount and ingredients if you do decide to try it. I hope this helps!
How can I make this without the cream cheese? I am lactose/dairy intolerant but want to make this for my fam BAD :)))
Thanks!
XO-M
Hi Michele- perhaps a soy based cream cheese?
does any one know how well this freezes?
Hi Becci- it freezes well. It makes a big batch, so, I always freeze half of it for a later dinner.
I would not add all that garlic powder. I imagine the garlic would be very empowering…
It wasn't too bad Jo-Anne 🙂 Please let me know if you do try it!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I love all soups but potato is about my fav. I’ve never thought of cream cheese in it so I will be trying this soon. Oh, and i really like garlic… I put it on most things.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Hope you like it Kim!
