Crock Pot Potato Soup isn’t just soup, it’s a meal. A delicious, thick, creamy, flavor packed meal.
The base of the crock pot potato soup is full of flavor, including: chicken broth, onion, roasted red peppers and spices. It is thickened toward the end of the cooking time with cream and flour. If you want to make the soup more rich and delicious, simply add more cream!
The addition of Parmesan cheese, bacon, and cilantro round this up to an outstanding hearty one of a kind potato soup you’ll absolutely love. Served with crusty bread or rolls and dinner is served. My husband Paul said this was better than Panera Bread’s Potato Soup! It’s definitely a keeper and we’re going to make it together in the crock pot so let’s gather the soup ingredients.
Crock Pot Potato Soup Ingredients:
- 8 medium size potatoes, washed, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 large onion, diced
- One 7 – ounce jar roasted sweet red peppers, drained and chopped
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- One Teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 Teaspoon rubbed Sage
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1 cup grated Parmesan Cheese, grated, divided
- 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 2 Tablespoons Cilantro, minced
We start this delicious slow cooker soup by placing the first nine ingredients in the recipe, in the crock pot. Place the lid on the crock pot and cook the ingredients on low for 5 or 6 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
After the potatoes are cooked to tender place the flour and cream into a small bowl, whisk the ingredients together until they are smooth. Stir the cream/flour mixture into the broth in the crock pot.
Add 3/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese, the eight slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, minced Cilantro and the remaining cream to the crock pot. Stir the ingredients together to combine them.
Cover and cook the ingredients for 30 more minutes or until the soup slightly thickens.
Using cream to make the soup instead of milk makes this Crock Pot Potato Soup unbelievably luscious. The flavor from the roasted red peppers, Parmesan Cheese, bacon and Cilantro is amazing. When I serve this soup I garnish it with grated Parmesan Cheese and add a few crumble bacon slices on top with a sprig of Cilantro to give it color. Crock Pot Potato Soup, it’s what’s for dinner and it’s amazing!

The bacon on top of course helps but the creamy soup with chunks of potato simply looks divine.

Did not want to heat up the house in the summer so I made your crock pot soup and everyone LOVED it. Was gone by the next day – great to bring to work too!
