    Making slow cooker potato soup or crockpot potato soup is very easy and you get the best result since the soup is cooked on low heat releasing all the flavors from the ingredients added to it. Load it with toppings for a hearty meal.

    Tomato Basil Soup, Cheesy Vegetable Chowder, and Creamy Tomato Bisque are some of my favorite soups. You should give them a try as well.

    Ingredients

    Potatoes – For the Soups, always go for a starchy variety of Potatoes. I have mentioned below which varieties can be used to make this Soup.

    Garlic, Celery, and Onions – These three ingredients add to the flavor of any dish, especially garlic. I love that subtle garlic flavor in my soups, and thus don’t miss this one.

    Vegetable Broth – Vegetable Broth is filled with the taste of its own. And there it adds to the flavor of soup when added with other ingredients. But if you don’t have any stock, you can use water too. Check out my homemade vegetable stock recipe which will give a fabulous flavor to this soup.

    Milk, Flour, Cream, and Cheese – These ingredients add a rich creaminess to this soup, which makes it filling and even more delicious.

    You can even use greek yogurt and sour cream to add creaminess to this soup.

    Other Ingredients – Other than these, you will need a hot sauce to add some much-needed spiciness to this soup. You will also need olive oil, parsley, salt, bacon, and pepper.

    Step by Step Recipe

    Add olive oil, onion, celery, garlic, potatoes, broth, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Which potatoes are best to make this soup?

    Different varieties of potatoes have different starch content and they react to heat differently.

    Starchy potatoes don’t retain their shape upon cooking and thicken quickly.
    For soups, starchy potatoes like russet, gold rush, etc are the best.

    There are some all-purpose potatoes such as Yukon Gold, Kennebec, and Purple Peruvian.

    These can be used to make any kind of dish.

    You can use Yukon gold, red potatoes, purple majesty, russet potatoes, or even sweet potatoes to make this soup.

    I used the regular potatoes that we get in Indian to make it and the result was fabulous too.

    How to make Vegan Potato Soup?

    You can add in any nut milk and coconut cream to make it rich and creamy instead of milk, cream, and cheese.

    How to make it Gluten Free?

    To make this Soup Gluten Free, mix Corn Flour instead All Purpose Flour in the milk and add in the soup.

    Can we add more vegetables in this Soup?

    If you want to make it more filling and wholesome, then you can add vegetables such as Cauliflower and Broccoli along with the potatoes.

    Serving Suggestions

    Crusty Bread, Homemade Bread or Dinner Rolls are the best accompaniment to this hearty soup.

    I also like to serve my Cilantro Lime Chicken or Broccoli Rice Casserole with it.

    Storage Suggestions

    This soup will last for about 3 days when stored properly in an airtight container. Reheat it again, while serving.

    If you find the consistency thick, add in a little more vegetable broth or water to get the consistency right while reheating.

    Although I wouldn’t recommend freezing this soup if you still need to make sure you freeze the soup before adding milk, cheese, or cream.

    Whenever you need to use it, thaw it and heat in a pot and mix milk, cream or cheese and bring to boil.

    Serve hot with bacon, green onion, and grated cheese.

    Notes

    If you want to make the soup vegetarian, don’t add bacon. The rest of the recipe is the same.
    You can also use cornstarch in place of flour to thicken the soup
    The soup thickens with time, once it cools.
    Add more water, broth, or milk while heating to get the desired consistency and bring to boil.
    You can mash the potatoes using a potato masher instead of blending the soup using the immersion blender.
    Use fresh garlic to get the best flavor.
