I just finished compiling all the recipes that have been shared on 30days! Check out the new Recipe Index. So exciting!! Today I’m adding another good one to this list- Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup.
There are several recipes for slow cooker baked potato soup but I combined a few and loved the result. Creamy, hearty and delicious. Of course this recipe wouldn’t be nearly as good without the garnishes- bacon, sour cream, and cheese.

Simple baked potato slow cooker soup. Perfect for a chilly evening.
Ingredients
- 6-8 russet potatoes, washed but not peeled, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 4 c. chicken broth
- ½ yellow onion, chopped
- 2½ tsp minced, jarred garlic
- 1 c. half and half (or heavy cream)
- 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (+ whatever you want for garnishing)
- ½ Tbsp seasoning salt (I used Lawry’s)
- Garnishes: shredded cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onions, sour cream
Instructions
- Put first four ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on high for four hours or low for 8 hours.
- Mash mix until soup is slightly thickened. Stir in half and half and cheese. Top with garnishes and additional cheese.
I made this soup on Halloween to go with my favorite cornbread ever. I put the ingredients in and just left it while I went to the kids Halloween parade. Anyone else love slow cooker recipes? 
Hi- I'm Mique (as in Mickey). I started 30days as an idea file a few years ago. After three years and hundreds of ideas, I now realize that I'll never check them all off my list. When I'm not creating, I love spending time with family and friends and long drives, especially if they end at the beach.

Sounds SUPER yummy and I think I have everything on hand! YEAH! 2 questions – the onion – are you supposed to dice or chop it up at all? After adding 1/2 and 1/2 it says to add cheese. What kind of cheese and how much :) Thanks
Hi Wendy- ooops! Important details. Thanks for asking. Yes, chop the onions and 1 c. of shredded cheddar plus whatever you want to garnish. Hope that helps!
This sounds so good! I make potato soup sometimes, but this slow cooker idea sounds very appealing. I think I have a taste for it right now! Thanks!
This looks fantastic! Can’t wait to eat it next week. Perfect timing, I had to buy 20lbs of potatoes for Thanksgiving last week. I only used 10lbs…so I need potato recipes and bloggy land comes through again! I love that this is all whole foods and no canned stuff!
Thanks again!
