A cold front blew threw our West Texas town the other day and temperatures are a bit cooler today than they were at the beginning of the week. When the temperature starts changing outside it makes me start thinking about soups and stews again! One soup recipe that can be made in the crock pot is Potato Soup.

Here’s my potato soup recipe.
4 – 6 medium large potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1/2 onion (diced)
1 can cream of mushroom soup w/roasted garlic
1 can cream of celery soup
1 carrot (diced)
4 cups of water
2 cups of chicken broth
Butter
Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
This soup is great if topped with crumbled bacon, chives, or shredded cheddar cheese. You could even put a dollop of sour cream on it for that baked potato soup taste.
You may have noticed that I left off cream, milk, or even evaporated milk. My husband doesn’t like any of those in his soup which is why I use the cream of mushroom and cream of celery soup. If you like your soup a little thicker, cut back on the amount of water that you put in or add cream or evaporated milk.
Leave us a comment and tell us your favorite crock pot soup recipe! We look forward to hearing from you!
Till next time,

I love, love, LOVE potato soup. I tend to like it a little more soupy though opposed to creamy.
I will try to make it at home, thanks for this recipe.
This was a good and easy recipe. This last time I made it I used less mushroom soup and more chicken broth. It turned out better. This recipe is one that you can really adjust to your own preferences. For example, you don’t like celery soup, leave it out and add more celery stalks.
