Creamy Potato Soup from the Slow Cooker

For this recipe, I used a small 1.5 quart slow cooker.  If you’re wanting to fill a larger slow cooker, you can multiple the recipe accordingly.

First, I peeled and cut a couple of potatoes into roughly bite-sized cubes.  I used two large potatoes, but each potato weighed around 12 ounces each after being peeled and cut.  I tossed the potato cubes into the the slow cooker and added Chicken Base, minced garlic, water, half & half, salt and pepper.  They all got a quick stir before I put the lid on the slow cooker and cooked it on high for about 4 hours.

You will need to adjust the cooking times to your slow cooker.  Once the potatoes are cooked all the way through, you should be good.  If your slow cooker tends to run slower than most, you can also cut your potatoes a bit smaller to speed things along if you’re in a hurry.

Right before serving, add shredded cheese.  I used a Mexican Style Blend cheese because I always have it on hand.  Cheddar would be really good, or you can add your favorite cheese for a unique personalized twist.

I topped my husband’s soup with bacon pieces and more shredded cheese.  Chives would also make a nice topping.

  1. It sounds like an outstanding receipt…but can I make it in 1.5 quart crock pot??…Do you know of a creme soup cookbook for a small crockpot???…..I am older and live alone so its important for me to make small amounts so I don’t waste food by throwing out the left overs before I can eat them.

    1. I actually used a 1.5 qt slow cooker for this recipe so you will be fine. Amazon has several cream soup recipes books. You can check them out at this link: https://amzn.to/49HRiOa Some recipes may need to be cut in half. Soups usually freeze really well. I like to make big batches of things like vegetable soup (my husband and I are empty nesters now). I freeze what we don’t eat into single serve freezer containers. I ate some from the freezer last night… just warm and eat.
