Potato soup recipe for the crockpot

[richmond282]

I am looking for a good potato soup recipe for the crock pot. Nothing too complicated. Any suggestions?

Does not get any easier than this:

Ingredients:
*1 30oz. bag of frozen, shredded hashbrowns
*3 - 14oz. cans of chicken broth
*1 can cream of chicken
*1/2 cup onion, chopped
*1/4 tsp. black pepper
*1 package cream cheese (do NOT use fat free- it won't melt)

Throw in everything except for the cream cheese, that will go in an hour before serving. Cook on low for 6-8 and top with cheese, bacon, green onions or sour cream.

It's actually pretty good You need to cut the cream cheese up into tiny bits for best melting results.

I was going to post the same recipe as Gumbo. (Except mine calls for dried onion, maybe 2Tbsp.)

I just found this recently and have made it several times. My DH and kids love it. Takes less than a minute to dump everything into the crock pot before work (no chopping/measuring/etc). I also just use 6c water and a few bouillon cubes instead of canned broth, so it's even faster than opening all those cans.

I cook up some bacon in the microwave and then crumble it up, but you could also buy the pre-crumbled bags.

I came home for lunch and guess what I'm having? Potato soup!

I make mine in my pressure cooker. Last night I peeled a few potatoes and sliced them. I use the rack in the pressure cooker. Then just add whatever you want. I use a few sprigs of broccoli, some diced onion, sliced carrots, diced celery, salt, pepper, and add about 3/4 c of water. Once it starts to jiggle I reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce pressure and mash all ingredients together. Add milk, and if you like a little margarine or butter, to the desired consistancy and heat.

I like my pressure cooker tons more than my crock pot!

I didn't use the leeks or barley..

It's not crockpot, but it's quick...use the instant mashed potatoes in a bag as your base (prepared according to package directions), thin out with chicken broth, and you can throw in anything you want. I use canned potatoes (rinsed well and chopped up), carrots, corn, chicken, celery.
The hash browns recipe sounds good!

Potato soup sounds so good right now. Its freezing! Thanks for the idea.

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
7 medium potatoes, diced to 1-inch and boiled


directions:
Add soup, 1/2 the broth, first measure of milk, and stir. Add cheese and remaining milk. Stir in cornstarch with the rest of the broth. Add cornstarch mixture to soup. Add spices and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Add boiled potatoes and simmer 15 minutes more. For the best taste, let cool and reheat. To serve, top with chives and bacon bits.
