This easy crockpot potato soup recipe is perfect for busy evenings. The creamy soup is comforting and is sure to warm you up on a cool day. It is like a loaded baked potato in soup form.
If you like a rich and creamy potato soup, this recipe is for you. It is super simple to make with the help of a crockpot and frozen hash browns.
The resulting soup is a great mix of thick with just a few chunks of potato goodness. Top it with a little bit of shredded cheese and some bacon crumbles for a tasty meal.
This gem of a soup was from my grandma’s recipe box. It was a newspaper clip that was quite yellowed with age, but that is almost always a good sign.
I was surprised to see the shortcut of using frozen hash brown cubes as the potatoes given the age of the recipe. However, when you are a busy mom like me, those kinds of shortcuts are perfect.
Even if you aren’t super busy, shortcuts are handy. Using the already cubed and diced potatoes is a perfect way to save some work.
As the potatoes cook in the broth, some of them will start to fall apart a bit. That will help to add body to the soup.

Before you are ready to serve the soup, you melt in a block of cream cheese. That adds even more body to the broth along with a rich and creamy finish.
That’s about it! My guys are usually soup lovers, and even they really liked this potato soup.
