Ingredients for Slow Cooker Potato Soup:
- Potatoes: I like to use russet potatoes that have been peeled and diced
- Onion: dice up a yellow onion or white onion
- Broth: you will need to have chicken broth or vegetable broth to make this creamy potato soup
- Butter: I like to use unsalted butter that has been sliced
- Seasoning: be sure to have minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper
- Cream: you will need both heavy cream and sour cream to create this creamy soup recipe
- Cornstarch slurry: to make this you will only need cornstarch and water
- Toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, cooked crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions make for great toppings to this crock pot potato soup
How to make Slow Cooker Potato Soup:
Add the potatoes, diced onions, chicken broth, seasonings, and butter to your slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the cooking time is up to a small bowl add in the water and cornstarch whisk well. Set to the side.
To a medium-sized bowl add in the heavy cream, sour cream, and cornstarch slurry whisk well.
Add this mixture into the soup and stir well.
Let cook on low for 20 minutes.
Serve and top with the toppings.
How to store this loaded potato soup:

Tips and tricks for making this simple crockpot potato soup recipe:
Favorite toppings:
When you serve this easy potato soup recipe feel free to use one or more of these toppings with this great recipe:
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese or mild cheddar cheese
- Small blocks of cream cheese
- Crispy bacon crumbles
- Sliced green onions
- A dollop of plain Greek yogurt
Type of potatoes to use:
I enjoy using fresh potatoes with this recipe. Potatoes like Yukon golds or russet potatoes are the best potato soup with lots of flavor.
You could use frozen potatoes in this recipe if you prefer, just be sure to add more time to thaw the potatoes and create the right depth of flavor for this easy crockpot potato soup.
What to use in place of cornstarch:
If you need a different way to thicken the creamy broth of this crockpot potato soup recipe without using cornstarch, use all-purpose flour in place of the cornstarch as the thickening agent and still make the slurry. This will also help get the perfect creamy texture for this delicious potato soup.
