Hash Brown Slow Cooker Potato Soup
I love the ease of a slow cooker for busy weeknight meals. What’s even better than the help of a slow cooker is products that are healthy, but already prepped for you. This makes getting your recipe ready even quicker.
Less time prepping means more time with what’s important, spending time with your family.
Simply Potatoes makes slow cooker recipes a snap. All you do is cut open the bag of Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns and add them to your recipe. There’s no peeling, slicing or dicing. The potatoes are recipe ready!
Bonus, Simply Potatoes are made from fresh potatoes and never frozen. You can taste the freshness and flavor really shines through in this recipe.
Hash browns are one of my family’s favorite foods. We enjoy them for breakfast and in casseroles.

Hash Brown Slow Cooker Potato Soup Tips
- First, if you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make this stovetop in a large pot. Add your ingredients to a large pot. Then, cook the potatoes on simmer for 2 hours.
- As well, change up your soup by adding one cup each of corn and/or ham and 1/2 cup of celery.
- Finally, Simply Potatoes in the refrigerated dairy section of your grocery store. They’re in the cooler next to the eggs at my store. (Simply Potatoes are really better than frozen hash brown potatoes. Therefore, I highly recommend them. However, you can use frozen.)

Can you freeze this delicious soup? I’m the only one in my household and I really enjoyed this recipe but I’ll like to freeze part of it for later.
Sherry says
Great recipe! I didn’t have heavy cream so I subbed a block of cream cheese and a 1/2 c of milk. It was delicious… I added real bacon bits and it seriously tasted just like outback’s loaded potato soup.
Beverly says
Can I use half & half if I don’t have heavy cream?
Paula says
yes
Lori Hughes says
I made this last night for my family. My son just kept saying how good it was. I’m making it again for a work party today. It is delicious! It has such depth of flavor. You had me at heavy cream!❤️
Cindy says
This was so yummy! Tastes very much like Stuart Anderson’s Cattle Company’s baked potato soup but SO much easier! Thanks!,
Barbara Niebrzydowski RN says
My schedule these days is so busy, I have to do crock pot recipe pretty often. This was so creamy and good that my picky husband was impressed. I made on change but my husband hates onion, I precooked then so they would pretty much disintegrate and he wouldn’t find one.
Paula says
I used to do this when my boys were little. I’m sure my mother did it when I was little too. lol Thank you, I’m happy you liked it.
Lori says
Soooo good and simple to prepare but certainly doesn’t skimp on depth of flavor! This is such a great soup! Rich and flavorful!! ♥️
Paula says
Thank you! You’ve got me craving it now!
Nicole says
They didn’t have the hashbrowns so used the diced potato version. Blended before I added the cream mixture. Added garlic powder and a bit of paprika. Turned out thick and delicious. Topped with cheese, bacon and a little sour cream. Awesome on this snowy day
Ashley Bertram says
Very easy! I have been eating it for 3 days now. I added garlic powder and onion powder for more flavor.
Madison says
Do I need to change anything if I use frozen hash browns? My store was out of the simply potato kind.
Sheryl Kay Bryan says
My store was also out of simply potatoes, so I tried the frozen ones. When I made this with simply potatoes it was fabulous. Seriously not as good with frozen. Glad I made it the correct was first!
Emily says
Dynamite! Added a touch of nutmeg but otherwise played by the rules. Doubled the recipe and it was SOOOO Good! My soup-hating son even loved it. (Adding bacon helped!). I will for sure make this again.
Kim says
My slow cooker doesn’t have a medium temperature. So do I use low or high for the last 30 minutes?
Paula says
Turn it to low
Jenny says
I made this for a church gathering and it was a hit! I omitted the flour because I was in a hurry and it was still thick and creamy!
Annette Rink says
I have made this many times over the last 3 years. I serve it with warm crusty bread.

It’s one of my favorites too! Thank you for sharing!

Can coconut milk be used in place of the heavy cream?
Paula says
Yes, it won’t be as creamier, but will be healthier! 😉
Joanie says
Can I use regular frozen hash browns?
Paula says
Yes

This soup was so easy to make and went over well with the family. I cooked mine for 4 hours because I got a late start. Will definitely make this again.

Will this work if cooked on a low setting for 6-8 hours??? I want to be able to start it before work and leave it all day.
Paula says
Yes, use the lowest setting. It will work beautifully.

Do you whisk the flour & heavy cream over the stove or just in a bowl?

Yes, in a bowl, not on stove

Use 1/2 cheddar & 1/2 smoked gouda…if heavy cream is not an option, you can use 2 cans of cream of celery soup
Erin says
If I want to add broccoli how much longer should I cook this? Or will the 3 hours be enough?
Paula says
3 hours should be plenty of time to cook broccoli florets
