So, since there obviously won't be enough potato soup at the Neighborhood cafe to feed everyone tom orrow, and since I'm trying to encourage Kim to use her crockpot, I thought I'd post a crockpot cheesy soup recipe.

CROCK POT CHEESY POTATO SOUP


6 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped (6 cups) OR--you can use a large bag of Southern-style hash brown potatoes--the kind cut in cubes
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon granules or 2 bouillon cubes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 ounces) OR you can use cubed Velveeta in the same amount, if desired
1 (12-ounce) can Evaporated milk (1 1/2 cups)

In a 3 ½ to 4 quart slow cooker combine potatoes, water, onion, bouillon granules, and pepper. Cover; cook on LOW-HEAT setting for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH-HEAT setting for 4 to 4 ½ hours.

Stir cheese and milk into mixture in cooker after initial cook time. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 1 hour more or on high-heat setting for 30 minutes more. Mash potatoes slightly, if desired.

Stir in crumbled bacon, chopped green onion stems, and 8 oz. container of sour cream at the same time you add the cheese and milk, if desired, or these can be served on the side as garnishes for the soup.

Makes 6 servings.

Here's another recipe:

Crockpot Cheesy Potato Soup

2 lbs. baking potatoes; peeled, cut into 1/2" cubes (or the bag of Southern Style hash browns)
2 10 1/2 oz. cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 C. finely chopped green onions
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 C. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 C. sour cream
1 C. milk

Place potatoes in crockpot. Pour in soup and add garlic powder. Pepper to taste. Cover; cook on low 8 hours or 4 hours on high. 10 minutes before serving, add cheese, sour cream and milk; stir until cheese melts. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes until heated through.

Same thing applies with the bacon and green onions as in the recipe above--either add them in with the milk and cheese or serve them on the side as optional garnishes.

Makes 6-8 servings.

I know this is an OLD thread but I had it in favorites and just pulled it up to look at the soup recipes - thinking tonight be a potato soup and cornbread kinda night. (OR might just go the easy way and have DH take me to O'Charley's. )

I have tried that pork loin receipt with the dry onion mix and cranberry sauce - YUMMMMMMM.

Thought others might be interested in them, too.

This sounds really good. I have been looking for a recipe for potato soup!!

[kittycrickett]

This sounds really good. I have been looking for a recipe for potato soup!!

This one isn't an easy crock pot recipe (I guess it could be), but it's a good potato soup recipe:

Potato Soup receipe from Max & Erma's:


4 oz bacon, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 small yellow onion, 1/4 inch dice
1 1/2 ribs celery, 1/4 inch dice
1/2 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups potato, 1/2 inch cubes (about 2 medium baking potatoes)
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt (optional)
1/4 pound sharp cheddar cheese, grated
(for garnish - bacon, cheese and green onion)

Place heavy stockpot over med-high heat, add diced bacon. Cook, stirring frequently, until bacon is brown, 5-7 minutes.
Immediately add onions and celery and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add flour to veggies and bacon. Cook over low for 5 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Add chicken broth and potato cubes. Increase heat to med-high and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Add half-and-half, white and black pepper and salt and simmer for 5 minutes more.
Add cheese and stir until melted. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Garnish with crisp bacon, grated cheese and diced green onions if desired.

I created this recipe when I had very little money, whan I first made it, I only used a pound or less of the stew meat. (Vegies where cheap, the meat wasn't.)
My dad said I should call it vegie stew with meat flavoring! I now make it with more meat, and this is that recipe, more or less...
I also like to be able to taste my spices, so I usually use more than the teaspoon of Italian seasoning mix. I cut it down since most people don't like as much spice as I do.
If I have it on hand, I use a Spicy Spaghetti mix (instead of the Italian seasoning mix) that I get from Raven's Nest Herbals (they are on-line and have a shop at the Renassainse Festival)
I don't care for onions or peppers, you could add those if you like them. Brown the meat with the onions, add the peppers during the last hour of cooking.
Now that I've totally confused you with those options...Here's the basic recipe...

Crock Pot Stew

2 pounds lean stew meat, cut into 1" or larger cubes
2-3 cloves garlic, mashed
Small amount of oil, to brown the meat in.
2 pounds potatoes, cut into 1/2" cubes
2 packages beef gravy or mushroom gravy mix or bullion cubes
1 teaspoon Italian spice mix (adjust to your taste)
1 large bag frozen carrot, broccoli, cauliflower mix
or 4-6 carrots thin sliced or small cubes (these take a while to cook)
1-2 bunches broccoli
1/2 - 1 head cauliflower
3-4 large zucchini, cut into large chunks
1 small bag frozen vegetables (corn, peas, green beans, black-eyed peas, lima beans), optional
1 cup rice or barley, optional

Brown meat in a small amount of oil and the garlic. Transfer to crockpot.
Add potatoes. If using fresh carrots, broccoli and cauliflower add at this point.
Mix gravy mix according to package direction. Pour over meat, potatoes and veggies.
Add Italian spice and garlic (if you did not brown the meat in it)
Add enough water to cover everything in the crockpot.

Cover and cook on high for 6-8 hours (time depends on how small you made your potatoes and carrot chunks)
Carrots generally take longer to cook, so cut them smaller than your potatoes.

About an hour before serving, add zucchini, rice/barley and frozen vegetables (if using instead of fresh).
I use the rice or barley to "thicken" up the stew when it looks more like soup than stew. I don't always use it.

Quantities are for my big crockpot, you may have to adjust, depending on the size of your crockpot.
I also do not measure what I add, so all quantities are an estimate!

Serve with fresh, crusty bread or cornbread.

Makes 6-8 servings

Thanks for the recipes. I want to try each one now! Guess I'd better hurry home!

This sounds great, but I'm wondering if you fed an army with this. That is an insane amount of ingredients. LOL...still thanks for this recipe. I can't wait to try it.
