Potato Soup Recipe

This potato soup recipe is a cinch to prepare. If you make use of the shortcuts available to you at the supermarket (pre-peeled and cubed potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery), all you have to do is dump everything in the Crock pot, and come back hours later to great homemade Crock Pot potato soup!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 20 oz. packages pre-peeled, cubed refrigerated potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes)
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 quarts chicken stock
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 slices bacon
  • chopped scallions for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Place potatoes, diced carrots, celery, onion and chicken stock in the Crock-pot.

  2. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the shape and size of your Crockpot. Check after 2 hours to see if the potatoes are cooked through and the soup is the right texture.

  3. Fifteen minutes before serving, stir in cheese and heavy cream, and cook bacon until crisp.

  4. Serve soup garnished with bacon and chopped scallions.
