I’ve been on a real soup-kick lately and this ultra-creamy crock pot cheesy potato soup recipe is one that my whole family loves.
Before anyone says it, yes, I know that Crock Pot is a brand name and that most people these days say slow cooker instead.
I just can’t help it, y’all. A crock pot is a crock pot to me, even if it’s not a Crock Pot. Who’s confused? HA!
No matter what you call the magical kitchen appliance that it’s cooked in, you’re going to love this cheesy and delicious potato soup recipe.
The pound of Velveeta cheese in this soup pretty much means it tastes perfect. Yep, I said it. This potato soup is perfect!
This soup actually reminds me of the cheddar baked potato soup from Bob Evans which I’ve been obsessed with for many years.
I love to add some fresh chopped green onions and crispy crumbled bacon to the top of my crock pot cheesy potato soup, but it’s certainly good without anything added!
I know it can be sort of overwhelming when you go online to look for great family recipes. You can never tell which ones are going to be winners and which ones are going to be losers, and frankly, ain’t nobody got time for loser recipes!
Trust me, this potato soup is both easy and delicious. If you love potatoes and cheese, it’s really a no-brainer.
I’ll love you forever if you Pin this recipe before taking off, and be sure to let me know how much you loved it in the comments below!

INGREDIENTS:
- 6 large peeled, Yukon Gold potatoes cut in 1/2 -inch cubes

DIRECTIONS:
Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and the chicken broth to a 4 quart or larger crock pot, stir and cook on high for about 3 ½ hours OR about 6 hours on low.
Whisk the 3 tablespoons of flour into the 1 cup of cold milk until smooth.
