Winter is rearing its ugly head around here.
We still don’t have any snow, much to the disappointment of my two year old who is dying to go sledding. As soon as he sees the first flake fall, he is in his snow bibs and is begging us to grab his sled out of the garage. Unfortunately, the most we have had this year is a light dusting. However, the temperatures are dropping and the wind is cold enough to take your breath away.
Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup
When it is this cold, who doesn’t love a good soup!
To be perfectly honest, I am a little gun shy when it comes to potato recipes. I LOVE potatoes, but I am not good at peeling them or cutting them. However, I am happy to say that I had the prep work done for this Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup in no time flat! It really helps to have a good peeler, and this one is a life saver for me.

Slow Cooker Recommendation
For this amazing Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup, I used my Travel Crock Pot. It was the perfect size, and I love that I could set the timer and not have to worry about watching the clock. Any 6 quart slow cooker would work though.

I have been looking for a great Cheesy Potato soup recipe and this is it! I cooked my onions in bacon grease before adding to soup. Great flavor and just thick enough!
Can I cook the potatoes & onions on HI for 3 hrs instead of 6/7 hrs on low?
Yes. Depending on your slow cooker, it should take between 3-4 hours. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Added some flour mixed with broth as soup was too watery but it was great! And finished when guests arrived for dinner!!! Thank you!
I did it this way! It was excellent!
You have been so good to include the size of Crock Pot used but I don’t see it mentioned. I do wish you would always include the size.
Thank you so much for your recipes.
Hi Doyle!
In all of our more recent posts, we include the size of crock pot. With having over 1000 recipes on the site, we haven’t had a chance to update all of the older recipes (like this one from 2015) with crock pot sizes. For this recipe, use a 6 quart slow cooker.
Enjoy!
