I love simple, make-ahead meals that I can serve my family on those cold winter days when we're juggling school and about a million other responsibilities. This six-ingredient potato soup slow cooker recipe is super simple and easy to make. It requires no roux, blending, or chopping up potatoes because it includes a bag of frozen, pre-shredded hashbrowns.

Here's how to make an easy slow-cooker potato soup that is filling, delicious, and warms the soul:

Easy Slow-Cooker Potato Soup

Ingredients:

  • 32 oz. package of frozen shredded hash browns
  • 42 oz. of chicken broth
  • 1 diced onion or 1.5 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 10 oz. can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
  • 1 package cream cheese

Optional toppings:

  • Shredded cheese
  • Scallion or chives
  • Bacon bits or diced cooked ham

Directions:

  • Combine all ingredients, except for the cream cheese, into your slow cooker.
  • Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.
