Reviews
Fine basic recipe, but 8lb of potatoes is way too much for a crock pot. I have a larger crock pot and could only fit 5lb. I had to transfer the soup into a pot on the stove to properly stir.
We loved this potato soup! We used an 8 lb bag of yellow potatoes and added a 1/2 lb of sausage. We will definitely be making this again.
No changes, except used 6 large potatoes, which I did not weigh. The potatoes took 12 hours to soften in my slow cooker–must be really slow. Topped with a little bacon and shredded cheese. Will make again.
As others have said here, it’s a good foundation for potato soup, but you will have to season to taste. I halved the recipe, but added more water to keep it from being too thick and added 1 tbs of Old Bays to give it some flavor. The next time I make it, I will add bacon and use less flour.
I added ham, broccoli, and velveeta cheese…AMAZING
This recipe should definitely say 8 CUPS of Potatoes. Not 8lbs. In the end the flavor was very bland. I added an extra boullion, some rosemary and thyme. A lot of salt and pepper and a dash of red pepper flakes. For the last 15minutes i added a cup of cheddar cheese and cooked chopped bacon. After that it was perfect
Very bland! Needs salt.
4 stars because I adapted the recipe, but it’s a good based. potatoes should be in cups not pounds. I halved the recipe. I added minced garlic (like 1 tablespoon) and a package of pre chopped ham and omitted the butter. turned out really good!
Not bad, turned out thick. I did add bacon to it though.
I added diced ham (4 cups) and a bag of shredded cheddar cheese.I also added about 1/3 cup water to flour and mixed this together BEFORE I added the milk.It made it much easier to get the lumps out.
Very easy slow cooker recipe! I added a package of cubed ham in it as well, and a little less potatoes than called for. Highly recommended.
Excellent recipe. I agree with all others that it gets 5 star as a base recipe for a phenomenal potato soup. What I added made this soup phenomenal. Hoping you find your additions to do the same.
instead of 8lbs of potatoes I used 32 oz. diced frozen potatoes and instead of the chicken cubes and water I used 32 oz. of chicken broth then follow the recipe . My husband loved it and so did I Will use this recipe often
I made it for the first time yesterday. It was so good! I added a can of cream of chicken in the beginning, and also added corn when mixing in the flour/milk. Ended up bringing it into work for my co workers and they all loved it!
so so
Very good recipe. Only thing was flavoring needed. Added sea salt to the recipe. Tastes good
It was yummy! The only changes I made were: I did not use quite so many potatoes, I added bacon bits to the recipe, and I added cheese on top before eating.
I sauteed the onion before adding to slow cooker. The soup came out very bland. Had to add quite a bit of salt and pepper to it before eating. I also added some dry dill. I don’t think I will be making this soup again.
Yum. Now I need to learn to make corn bread haha
added the spices that Laura recomended and carmelized the onions. Made it all kinds of yummy. I also substituted 1C buttermilk . It never made it to the second day in the fridge…
I’m not sure what I did wrong but this did not thicken up at all….
