Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup
Potato Soup is that bowl of comfort in the winter time! Last month I made a cheesy potato soup on the stovetop that was out of this world. It went viral on social media and everyone raved about how flavorful and delicious it was! A ton of people asked if it could be made in the slow cooker so I got to work with some experimenting and made it happen! Same flavor profile, but minimal effort! If you try this recipe and enjoy it, do me a favor and give it a rating as well as a review in the comments. I think you will love it as well!!

Notes
Use pre shredded cheese if you really want to make this easy! Â If you don't like velveeta, Â leave it out and just add 8 more oz of shredded. Â I am personally just a fan of velveeta. Â Salt to taste although I didn't feel it needed any additional. Â Cook bacon if you prefer that over bacon pieces. Â Lastly, Â if you wanna check out the stovetop recipe just search "potato" in recipes!
It’s the best spot at soupni have ever tasted thank you for sharing
Excited to prepare this recipe. Always love good soup this time of the year. Thanks.
Hope you enjoy it!
The recipe says to add all ingredients except cheese and bacon. The video says indicates the cream of chix soup is added later, with the cheese. Does it make a difference?
I meant to add it earlier and forgot. Won’t hurt either way!
Where do you get the potato seasoning?
I get it at WalMart but my local Kroger also has it!
Hello! Concerning the Cheesy Crockpot Potatoes— I’m having a heck of a time finding the “Potato Slayer” seasoning. I have been to 3 WalMarts here in Colorado Springs, but no luck. Can you share the maker of the seasoning? Or the color of the container? Also, where do you find Bacon Up? Who makes it? In the refrigerated section? And–one last question–our WMart didn’t have frozen diced potatoes. Can I use frozen hash browns? Or red potatoes cubed that are par-boiled before adding to the crockpot for your Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes?
Bacon Up is at Kroger, many WalMarts, and Lowe’s in the grill section. Soon to be Publix as well! You can used frozen potatos or par boil reds, whatever you prefer! Lastly, here is a link for the potato slayer! It’s so good on everything!

My guy loves to cook but yesterday I decided to surprise him with this soup. He could not stop talking about it, eating it and told me that it should be illegal it was so good. Which is a huge compliment because he’s really picky.
Thanks so much for the recipe, looking forward to checking out others!

Loved it! I added ground hot italian sausage with the ham and potatoes and some frozen spinach during final hour – Big hit!
