When I saw this Crock Pot Easy Cheesy Potato Soup in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker to the Rescue, I knew I would love it because it is almost exactly like the amazing Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup. Of course, I had to make a few adjustments!

Easy and delicious some times I add extra potatoes I diced and cooked for thicker soup.
Can you use fresh potatoes?
I haven’t tried this one with fresh potatoes, but think it could work. The cooking time may vary, so watch it closely the first time to adjust as needed. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
This looks AWESOME. I will add some broccoli also….yum! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like a great addition! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.
Omg this was amazing!
We added roasted garlic, because we add garlic to most all savory dishes. This will be added to our year-round rotation.
I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe Gail! Love the idea of adding roasted garlic! Yum!
Does this freeze well?
Hi Tiffany!
I haven’t tried freezing this soup. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

Any thought on if I can use regular raw chopped potatoes instead? I just happen to have some I need to use lol
Hi Elizabeth-
I would think regular potatoes would work as well. If you need to use them up, I’d certainly give it a try. Enjoy!
Love potato soup…sounds good! I’m with Gail on adding some broccoli.. Thanks!
Hi Kim!
We love potato soup around here too! Enjoy!

I have tried this recipe and it is awesome. I have also added chopped broccoli florets and chopped carrot pieces.
Gave it to some people at work that don’t like “crock-pot” foods/casseroles,etc.or cook with frozen foods and they all wanted the recipe.
Hi Gail!
That sounds awesome! My kids would love that. Thanks for the suggestion! Enjoy!
