Easy Potato Soup in the Crockpot
With Fall quickly approaching, what better way to feel comfort than an easy potato soup in the crockpot. This is not at all a healthy soup but it is a quick soup for those busy weekdays or cool, crisp weekends. This cozy soup is perfect for Fall and Winter seasons. With frozen hash browns, bacon bits, cheese, and cream of chicken soup, how can you go wrong? Recipe inspiration: https://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/917535034/easy-crock-pot-potato-soup/
I found the recipe (above) and adjusted the recipe to my taste. I did adjust some measurements and made some recommendations. Here is what I did for my Easy Potato Soup.
Ingredients:
1 30oz. bag of frozen diced hash browns
1 32 oz. box of chicken broth
1 22 oz. can of cream of chicken soup
3 oz. of bacon bits
1 8oz package of cream cheese
cheddar cheese (to sprinkle on top)
pepper
Turn crockpot on to low and add hash browns.
Add box of chicken broth.
Add cream of chicken soup (the original recipe called for 10oz of cream of chicken soup but I used a 22oz can and thought it tasted amazing!)
Add 3oz of bacon bits
I added pepper but you can also add salt based on your liking. I put the food on low for 6-7 hours.
An hour before you serve it, cut up the cream cheese and put it in the crockpot. The original recipe said to cut the cream cheese in squares and I did chunks. I would recommend squares because even after an hour in the crockpot, some of the cream cheese still hadn't blended in. I would also recommend turning it to high for the last 30 minutes to help it blend in faster.
Once the cream cheese is blended, move the crockpot to "warm" and serve. You can add shredded cheese and bacon bits on top. I prefer to have the bacon bits cooked in the soup as they are softer.

It looks good enough to try tonight as it is cold and rainy here and I have all the ingredients on hand😂
ReplyDeleteWell that is perfect!! It's been chilly here too in CA! If you made it, let me know how you liked it!
DeleteI added Campbells nacho cheese soup and some sour cream to the recipe and it made it a little creamier and cheesier. ☺️
DeleteSo I added three cut up cooked chicken breast to the soup and real bacon and two cups of Colby 3 cups of Colby jack cheese to the soup let's what happened so in 6 hrs s
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! I'll have to try that! Thanks for letting me know about this delicious addition :)
DeleteI have made this several times but I just used whipped cream cheese and my hubby likes extra bacon.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that! Extra bacon is always a good choice!! Thanks for the recommendation!
DeleteI made it last night, and it turned out amazing!!! I used half of a package of bacon and crumbled it (my husband and I love bacon). I also added 1/2 of a chopped up onion. This will be in our rotation of meals!
ReplyDeleteLove this recipe! I do Weight Watchers so I made a few subs to make it more "point friendly".
ReplyDeleteFat Free Cream Cheese for regular
Low Sodium Chicken Broth
98% Fat Free Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
I added some dried minced onion, minced garlic and lightly dried fresh basil. I also stirred about 1 cups of Fat Free Greek Yogurt (like you would sour cream) in just before serving.
Turned out fantastic! I decided the recipe made about 12 cups so it equals 4 Freestyle Smart Points per cup (without cheese or bacon on top).
I'm on a low-carb diet so I will try your recipe. Sounds way healthier than mine ;)
DeleteIf you are doing low carb-Stay away from low fat items, they have more carbs in them than regular.
DeleteI have made this recipe many times! Great recipe! I use the slow cook setting on my Ninja Foodie. Making it again today for one of our meals in our cabin get-together!
DeleteThanks very nice blog!
ReplyDeleteCan you double this, like is there enough room in the crock pot? Having a soup cook off and there will be other soups like 7 or 8, feeding about 30 people, the favorite ones, everyone goes back for more. Just wondering how much it makes. Thanks! Love the variations not so sure about the sour cream though but like the whipped cream cheese. How did the Colby/Colby jack turn out?
ReplyDeleteI haven't doubled it before but my guess is not enough room in the crockpot. Sometimes I notice when I double recipes it never tastes as good haha. Do you have two crockpots and maybe you can do two at once? I haven't made this since I posted this blog but everyone seems to love it!
DeleteDose it turn out thick
ReplyDeleteDose it turn out thick
ReplyDeleteI wish I remembered!! I haven't made this since I made this recipe! I'm sorry!
DeleteIf it is too thin, add a little bit of potato flakes at the end. Try a tablespoon at a time.
DeleteI like cream of celery instead of cream of chicken. Easy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect! Believe it or not, I've never tried Cream of Celery but it seems like more and more recipes are using it so I think it's something I will have to try!
DeleteYes, I put in cream of celery & cream of chicken. Delish!!!
DeleteI made this on the stove tonight. I used o'brian frozen potatoes with onions, red peppers and green peppers. I used one can cream of chicken and one can cream of celery and added a can of drained corn. I also cooked bacon and added that. It was delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing! I will have to try that!
DeleteYou think i could add the cream cheese when i add everything else so it gets mixed in well? Anyone else do this?

DeleteIt probably would turn out better that way because I don't have much luck with cream cheese in general. If you try it, please let me know!
