With the cooler weather finally here, we decided to whip up a warm, hearty, and delicious soup that’s as easy as it gets! This creamy potato soup is the ultimate comfort food—perfect for those chilly days when you just want to cozy up with something hot and filling. The best part? It’s made right in the crockpot, so you can set it and forget it while the flavors blend together beautifully.
Here’s what you’ll need to create this effortless meal:
Ingredients:
1 bag of frozen hash brown potatoes (Southern Style or diced works best for that perfect texture!)
1 can of cream of chicken soup (adds a creamy base with a rich flavor).
1 block of cream cheese (for that velvety smooth texture).
1 packet of ranch seasoning (the secret ingredient that takes the flavor to the next level!).
1 carton of chicken broth (to bring everything together and keep it perfectly soupy).
Your favorite seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper for that extra kick.
Instructions:
1. Grab your crockpot and set it on high—this recipe is so simple that your slow cooker does all the heavy lifting!
2. Add your frozen hash browns directly into the crockpot. No need to thaw them—this saves time and makes prep a breeze.
3. Pour in the can of cream of chicken soup, followed by the entire carton of chicken broth. Stir gently to mix everything together.
4. Sprinkle in the packet of ranch seasoning for that zesty, herby flavor we all love.
5. Add the block of cream cheese. You don’t need to chop it—just let it sit on top and melt as everything cooks.
6. Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to taste. Feel free to adjust the seasonings later once it’s fully cooked.
7. Cover with the lid and let it cook on high for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the cream cheese melts evenly into the soup.
As it cooks, your kitchen will be filled with the most amazing aroma—comfort food at its finest! After 4 hours, your soup will be creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned.
Serving Suggestions:
This soup is perfect as-is, but you can take it up a notch by adding your favorite toppings! Think shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, fresh chives, or even a dollop of sour cream. Serve it with warm crusty bread or buttery crackers on the side to soak up every last drop.
It’s an easy, satisfying meal that the whole family will love. Whether you’re having a cozy night in or hosting friends for a casual dinner, this crockpot potato soup is a crowd-pleaser every time!
Enjoy your bowl of comfort and warmth. Stay cozy, everyone! 😋
