Make this thick and creamy loaded baked potato soup in your slow cooker for a simple, comforting weeknight meal. It requires minimal prep and delivers big flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (for topping)
  • Sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the cubed potatoes and chopped onion into the slow cooker.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes and onions.
  3. Add the cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender.
  5. Remove the lid. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  6. Add the cream cheese cubes. Stir occasionally until the cream cheese melts and the soup thickens slightly.
  7. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend about half of the soup directly in the crockpot until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving generously with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, fresh chives, and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use starchy Russet potatoes; they break down nicely to help thicken the soup naturally.
  • If you prefer a very thick and creamy potato soup crockpot result, mash a few extra cooked potatoes against the side of the slow cooker before adding the cream cheese.
  • You can cook the bacon ahead of time. Save some bacon grease to sauté the onions for 5 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker for extra flavor.
  • This recipe works well as a set it and forget it potato soup for busy days.
