Easy recipe for SLOW COOKER Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup! This family favorite soup is cooked on high in the crockpot for 4 hours!
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.

So good! I couldn’t wait for the time it would take in the slow cooker so I cooked it on the stove…..slowly simmered the broth, potatoes and onion, for nearly anhour, then added the broccoli for six minutes, thickened it and stirred in the cheese. Mmmmm………!

I not only love this soup, I crave it! I’ve made it three times in a week, and while husband and son are welcome to have some, and do, I practically live on this stuff. They eat the meat dishes I make for them but I forego most of that and eat this soup! I used to be a vegetarian…maybe that has something to do with it. Guess I’m weird, but I’m having a love affair with this concoction…..love the potatoes and broccoli and cheesy broth……thanks to you for recipe!

This is great with Costco baby potatoes and broccoli from the refrigerator section. It was delicious!

Just made this soup. Awesome! Did blend cheese with
Some soup. Used frozen broccoli.
CMH says
I used a tip from another recipe and blended about 1/2 the soup with the shredded cheese. This makes it more creamy without the extra milk/cream and ensures the cheese melts evenly. The flavor and texture was phenomenal! I also used a small onion and one shallot, as well as leaving potatoes unpeeled (more fiber) and it was great.
