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.

In this recipe we’ll add broccoli with 30 minutes left. You can use fresh or frozen broccoli – whichever is easier for you!
Ingredients for Cheesy Broccoli Potato Soup
1 large onion chopped
5 cups potatoes peeled and diced
5 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Does it taste better with the chicken broth or vegetable broth?
Danielle Grandinette says
Can I double the recipe? Will it fit in my crockpot?
Pamela says
Hey Danielle, yes you can double the recipe. What size crockpot do you have?
Danielle Grandinette says
8qts. also do you think it would be ok to throw in the potatoes and broth and store in the fridge before cooking till the next day? trying to make it easy for my hubby to start.
Mary P says
I am literally typing while eating this soup. It is so good! Hot, thick, creamy – it doesn’t even need any extra seasonings. My family is already asking me to make it again this week. Very easy to put together, and most of all – Delicious!
Pamela says
Hey Mary, this makes me so happy to hear! Glad this soup was a hit and it’ll become a regular in your kitchen! 🙂
Kathy says
I made this last night and my kids loved it. I also added frozen carrots. Will make again.
Pamela says
I love the addition of carrots! Thanks for commenting and sharing!
Tammy Oliver says
Can you use store brought shredded cheese or should I get the block and shred it myself
Pamela says
You can use store bought shredded cheese, I often use that because it’s easier. Enjoy the soup!
Lisa says
I made this with a 16 ounce bag of frozen broccoli. Served it with rolls. My whole family loved it.
chuck says
can i use frozen broccoli? roll tide 🙂
Pamela says
You sure can! Enjoy this soup!
Erica Canettieri says
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
Pamela says
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!
Jackie says
How much SALT & PEPPER⁉️ I’m making this now, I’m sure it’s going to need spices ⁉️
Pamela says
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!
