Cheesy Potato Soup ( Crock Pot )

"This soup is what I make for my family every Christmas Eve. I love using the crock pot, especially during the holidays. To cut down on time, I always use frozen hash browns- (diced, not shredded) for the 6 cups of potatoes. I've also added cheddar cheese along with the Velveeta cheese.This soup is delicious served in bread bowls."

  1. This was absolutely AMAZING! My hubby said it was the best potato soup he has ever had! Even my picky little girl loved it! I love that this soup has other veggies in it! The only thing I altered was not using chicken bullion, simply because I didn't have any and we opted to exclude the ham and it was still delicious! I highly recommend giving this recipe a try!
     
  2. Very nice cheesy potato soup. I made this on top of the stove. The only kind of hash browns I had on hand were the hash brown patties so I broke those up in a fry pan and fried them nice and crispy. I took the onions, celery, and carrots threw them and the potatoes in a can of chicken broth and simmered for about 45 min. until the veggies were done. I did not use ham. Then I threw in home made evaporated milk and some cheese, simmered another 15 min. and it was ready to eat. It hit the spot for a cold day.
     
  3. This was absolutely amazing! I did not have any bouillon, so I substituted that with onion soup mix. Also used a potato masher towards the end to thicken it up just a little bit. I chowed down on it with some warm bread and it tastes great. Next time I will try the instant potatoes idea and use a bread bowl :-D
     
  4. Wonderful crock-pot soup. The only change I made was to leave out the celery and carrots. This is now in my rotation for my weekends when I cook several meals to have homemade lunches to take to work that week.
     
  5. Quick and easy. I like my soup thick, I only used half the milk and half a package of instant potatoes. I also used more cheese and added celery!! Yummy!!!!!

Tweaks

  1. Added fresh sliced mushrooms for a meatless option!
     
  2. VERY Good and VERY simple! Added Bacon instead of ham since it was what we had on hand, also added a bit more velveeta than called for since we are big cheese fans. We will be making this again. Thanks!!

<p>Hi! I'm very fortunate to be married to my best friend! My husband and I own our own business, and I work there 3-4 days a week. We have 4 children, a girl and three boys...all out of the nest. Our daughter is Nolan'sMom here at Zaar. We are so blessed to have two little grandsons; Nolan and Blake, and two little grandaughters; Evangeline and Willow. Our daughter-in-law is run for your life here at zaar. Us girls all enjoy trying out recipes and sharing the results when we're all together! Some of my hobbies are jogging, biking, areobics, reading, and of course trying out new recipes on Zaar. My DH and I love to go out on dates to our favorite resturant, or just go out for coffee. I just recently got a new digital camera, and am trying to figure out how to take good pictures of the food I make. It's more complicated that I thought it would be!</p>
