Crockpot Creamy Potato Soup
A delicious way to start the Fall season with bowl of creamy potato soup. See how I make it creamy with one ingredient.
Equipment
- cutting board and large knife
- 6 quart crockpot
Ingredients
- 2 – 2 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, washed & cut into bite size pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 TBS butter
- 4 cups vegetable broth, or chicken broth can be substituted
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 (8oz) package cream cheese, sliced in thick pieces
Instructions
- Place cut potatoes into 6 quart crockpot.
- In a medium skillet add butter and heat to a sizzle over medium heat. Add in diced onions, season with salt & pepper. Saute until softened and lightly browned. Add sauted onions to the potatoes in crockpot.
- Pour in broth and season with 1/4 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine. Place lid on crockpot and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low until potatoes are tender.
- One hour before potatoes are done add a block of cream cheese sliced into large pieces and place on top of potatoes. (Do not stir at this time.) Place lid back on and cook until cheese has softened and potatoes are fork tender.
- Once potatoes are tender, take a potato masher or emersion blender and mash potatoes to your desired texture for your soup.
- Serve in bowl with favorite toppings of sour cream, green onions, cooked bacon, and/or shredded cheese. Enjoy.
I don’t have a crock pot. How can I do this recipe on the stovetop?
You can par boil your potatoes to almost done then follow the recipe and cook on medium high with a covered pot.
I love your recipes and to watch the tube, but was wondering how come no Oct recipes on your index? That is another thing I enjoy about you is that you print the recipes so when I am away from home for the summer and don’t have your cookbooks I can still make the recipes that I want to make… People will still buy the books even tho you
have them printed so as to have them all in one place.. Everyone that I have tried and there are many, many all are good.. Look forward to making more of them. Enjoy the show so much, don’t change… Please… thank you.
I put my recipes here on my blog, I’m working on setting up a different format, so you’ll just need to search by the video name.
