The Potatoes:
For many years, I peeled and diced into bite sized pieces 4 pounds of potatoes for this recipe. As my carpal tunnel got worse, I have looked for easier ways to do potatoes. Now I have tried canned diced potatoes (affiliate link) and honestly, they were just as good. We will do it that way from now on. It saves my hands and is a lot quicker too.
I will add the fresh potato option in the notes below in case you prefer that or have some to use up.
I would think the frozen Ore Ida diced potatoes (affiliate link) would also work well but haven’t tried them yet. We just need about 8 cups worth.
An onion shortcut:
The original recipe called for 1/3 cup of chopped onion. If you prefer to use a fresh onion, that could be used instead of the dried minced onion (affiliate link).
The Broth:
The original recipe called for three 14 oz cans of chicken broth. Bouillon cubes dissolved into 5 ¼ cups of water would also be the equivalent and that is what I wrote the recipe as since that is usually what I have on hand.
Can Creamy Crock Pot Potato Soup be Frozen?
It is not recommended to freeze this soup. Neither cream cheese nor potatoes freeze very well. The dairy will separate and the potatoes change consistency. That being said, it doesn’t spoil it to freeze it. If you don’t mind those changes, go for it.
Ingredients:
diced potatoes
dried minced onion (affiliate link)
chicken bouillon cubes (affiliate link)
water
cream of chicken soup (affiliate link)
cream cheese
Instructions:
Spray crock pot (affiliate link).
Add first four ingredients to crock pot.
Whisk to combine.
Cover and cook in crock pot on low for 8-10 hours, on high 6 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Add cream cheese to crock pot in about 6 pieces (just easier not to add one big chunk).
Stir until blended.
Serve.
Yield; 8 servings
Notes:
Potatoes can be replaced with 8 cups of peeled, diced potatoes.
Dried chopped onion can be replaced with 1/3 cup fresh chopped onion.
Water and bouillon cubes can be replaced with three 14 oz cans chicken broth.
