How to Make Loaded Crock Pot Potato Soup

This Crock Pot Potato Soup was voted Battle Soup Winner by our You Tube Community so Mikey made a video for it.

Ever since Aunt Lou shared the ever popular Crock Pot Potato Bacon Soup, we have been on a quest to find more great potato soup recipes. Through trial and error (and we do mean LOTS of error) we have tested numerous recipes and many came up short. Then we found this fantastic loaded potato soup in America’s Test Kitchen’s Slow Cooker RevolutionCrock Pot Potato Soup. You might recall we recently found a Crock Pot Tomato Soup recipe that knocked our socks off in their Slow Cooker Revolution Volume 2 (The Easy Prep Edition), so we were hopeful.

We were not disappointed whatsoever. Cook this one in your crock pot and it will fill your whole house with the most wonderful aroma!  We shared it with some friends and they were instant lovers of it! The soup itself is very savory and full of flavor. Unlike a lot of cheesy potato soups, the cheese in this recipe did not overpower the rest of the soup, but rather added to the complexity of the flavors.

Notes on Crock Pot Potato Soup

  • This recipe does great in any 6 qt slow cooker. However, since this soup has a precooking step and because it has a cream and cheese base, we recommend this stove top safe slow cooker that has a great non-stick surface. The crock can go straight from the browning step on the stove into the slow cooker unit without dirtying another dish and the non-stick surface is perfect for cream based cheesiness that tends to stick in other slow cookers.
  • This recipe is altered from a soup we found in America’s Test Kitchen’s Slow Cooker RevolutionCrock Pot Potato Soup.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Is there another herb I can substitute for thyme? My husband and I neither like the taste of it. Thanks for all the fabulous recipes 🙂

    I pinned this a couple weeks ago, but finally made it today to have for dinner and it was absolute perfection! Great consistency (sporadically used an immersion blender to make it creamy with some chunks still), and awesome flavor!! A definite crowd-pleaser 🙂 I’ll need to check out more of your recipes if they’re as great at this one!

    Hi! I just found you at The Country Cook, Weekend Potluck #152 with Brandie and I know I’ll be coming back!! Planning to subscribe to see more!!

    This recipe sounds delicious. I love soup, stew, chili, chowder… I eat it all year! Can’t wait to get a chance to take a good long look at your recipes! Pinning This!

    Can you use an immersion blender to puree the soup at the end?

      Hi Rebecca-
      You could I suppose but the soup turns out pretty smooth on its own. There are some chunks of potato, but we like it that way. Either way, I hope you enjoy it 🙂

      I prefer smooth creamy soups. I don’t really go for chucks in cream soups. Thanks – I cannot wait to try it. :oD

    Is there a way to make this freezer-friendly?

      Hi Katy- Without trying it first, I am not sure. I would be afraid of the soup texture suffering or it separating after freezing. You might have better luck freezing one of our tomato-based soups
