Slow Cooker Potato Soup
The end of November brought cold weather and rainy days. Because of the added layers to stay warm and the drizzle of rain it also brought a laziness to the dinner table. I’ve been stuck in a dinner rut the last few weeks making easy and quick meals. It usually gets to dinner time and we’re both too tired to really think of anything new so it’s something simple.
I am craving comfort food right now. Hearty, creamy and cheesy is what I want. To make a comforting Winter meal that is still simple and quick, I brought out my slow cooker and this Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup was born.
Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup
This soup pretty much is the definition of comfort food. It’s potatoes and onions slow cooked in broth. Then we’re going to add the broccoli. Add in some cheddar cheese, stir it around and we have a extra creamy soup that is the perfect dish to serve on a cold night.

Looks delicious Pamela. I have been promising myself that I would get a slow cooker, it’s so easy and look at the results, the soup really does look so good.
Hi Pamela, I’ve had a slow cooker now for about 2 years and really love it, great soup, love broccoli!!!
The perfect antidote to this cold weather!
Even though we are in a heat wave here, I could dunk some bread into that soup right now!
I eat a lot of soups lately, it’s close to 0 degrees in Berlin and it’s just too cold. Love the idea of a new soup 🙂
It’s been so cold here so we’ve been living on soups too! This one looks SO comforting and delicious!! Love how easy it is to make!
Wow! This soup looks perfect for cold weather. I’ve never made this flavor so I can’t wait to try it 🙂
I love using my slow cooker year round, but it’s extra perfect this time of year when it’s cold. Love the combination of broccoli and potato. And cheese definitely is never a bad thing 😉 Looks delicious!!
We love broccoli and cheese soup, but I never thought about making it in the slow cooker. I will need to try it this weekend! 🙂
I love broccoli cheddar soup on a cold winter day! I have never thought to make it in a slow cooker instead of on the stove! I also like the addition of potatoes!
I could so use this soup right now! Things are a mess here and I can’t cook but I’m sure hungry and this looks so thick and satisfying.

This is one delicious and finger-licking soup. I could eat it every day!
How much SALT & PEPPER⁉️ I’m making this now, I’m sure it’s going to need spices ⁉️
Hey Jackie, I generally don’t add any because the vegetable broth has so much flavor. If you want to add salt and pepper, sprinkle in to desired taste. Enjoy!
How soft do i need the potatoes to be when I add the broccoli? My crock pot is always off on the time with other recipes so I thought I would try to base off of how ready they seem
Hey Erica, can you easily slide a fork into the potatoes? If so, then it’s time to add the broccoli! Enjoy this soup, it’s one of my favorites!

You sure can! Enjoy this soup!
I made this with a 16 ounce bag of frozen broccoli. Served it with rolls. My whole family loved it.
Can you use store brought shredded cheese or should I get the block and shred it myself
You can use store bought shredded cheese, I often use that because it’s easier. Enjoy the soup!
I made this last night and my kids loved it. I also added frozen carrots. Will make again.
I love the addition of carrots! Thanks for commenting and sharing!
