Cheesy Crock Pot Potato Soup

Today I'm sharing our favorite potato soup recipe. Over the years, Joey has tried several times to make potato soup using different recipes but they have never turned out good (sorry hubs!). Since we found a simple crock pot recipe and tailored it to our taste, we haven't looked back. Again, I'm really picky about what I like so there are no onions or veggies in our recipe. Side note: I totally forgot to take a picture of it finished. We had family over for dinner the night we fixed it and I was too busy to remember to snap a picture.

Let's get started!

20151003_123332Not all ingredients are pictured above. Only the initial ingredients that you begin with are shown.


Ingredients:

32 oz. Bag of Ore-Ida Diced Hash Brown Potatoes
32 oz. Box of Chicken Broth
2 cans of Campbell's Cream of Potato (a lot of recipes call for cream of chicken, this is where we switched it up a bit and love the result. Potato just makes sense for potato soup, right?)
8 oz. block of Cream Cheese
8 oz. block of Velveeta
1 1/2 cups of Shredded Cheddar Cheese (more or less to taste, we like it really cheesy)
1/2 a package of Hidden Valley Ranch Powder

Optional Ingredients:

Sour cream
Fried bacon crumbled up or bacon bits

Directions:

  • Place hash brown potatoes, cream of potato, and chicken broth in the crock pot. Cook on medium heat for 4 hours.

  • Cut up the Velveeta and Cream Cheese into small squares and place in the crock pot. Stir and let the cheeses melt for about 30 minutes.

  • Add in your shredded cheese and ranch powder and stir.

  • Serve into bowls with a sprinkle of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and some crumbled up bacon. We also love to have fresh sourdough bread with our soup.


If you love cheesy potato soup like I do, give this recipe a try and let me know how you like it or how you tailored it to your taste! Enjoy!

XOXO - Brittany

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night.

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
