OUTSTANDING!!! I followed the instructions exactly as stated! No shortcuts. Everything, step by step, turned out exactly like the recipe. After 2 hours, I was a wee bit worried because it didn’t seem to be cooking fast enough for the 3-hour completion time, but during the 3rd hour, it all came together. Especially after adding the cream and sour cream and cheese. I left my crock pot on warm afterwards for about an hour. I didn’t use a masher at the end as we like our soup pretty “chunky’ but I did use a wooden spoon to randomly break apart some of the chunks very slightly. THIS SOUP IS DELICIOUS! I took a large container filled to my friend…her husband is in the hospital and she isn’t eating well…she was so comforted and ate so much! That was a bonus for me!

In reply to Alessandra. I think you could probably get away with it! I think it will likely be right at the top though.

Hello! If I have a 4.5 quart slow cooker, do I need to make any adjustment to this recipe? I notice a 5-6 qt slow cooker is used.

This is great to warm you up in these cold months. I use No Chicken Broth to make this vegetarian and add some crumbled veggie bacon before serving.

In reply to jen.. You could try 8 hours on low, but I'd recommend more like 6 hours if that works for your schedule. I worry the potatoes would be way overdone at 8 hours, but on low it should be okay. Definitely not on high for 8 hours.

could you clarify the cooking time? i looked through the comments and saw that it was originally 8 hours on high but now the updated version says 3 hours on high. could i do 8 hours on low instead? i understand that the potatoes need to soften, but since there’s no meat, does high or low matter if it’ll be slow cooking for so long? thanks!

This is hands down THE BEST potato soup recipe I have ever made! I just made it for a 5th time and my five kids are already so excited for dinner (not an easy feat). You have to try it – you will not regret it!

I actually made this in the pot instead of a slow cooker. I ran out of time and needed to make it quicker than 3 hours. It tastes great. I sautéed the onions, garlic, carrots and celery in olive oil first. Then it took about 20 minutes, boil and simmer, on the veggies. I halved the recipe because I’m cooking for two, and I replaced the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. Super quick and tasty!

Simple and tasty! Tree hours on high wasn’t enough time in my cooker, the vegetables were still mostly crunchy. I decided a bit of blending with the immersion blender would help. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
