I love easy-to-prep slow-cooker meals. Just dump everything in the pot and let the magic happen.

Slow-cooker potato soup is my go-to meal when I want to eat cheap and healthy, and it’s a perfect choice when I want something that feels cozy and homey.

Better still, slow-cooker potato soup goes well with just about any topping I happen to have on hand. Green onions? Sprinkle ’em on there. Bacon crumbles? Toss those too. Shredded cheese? Why not?

If you like to meal prep, slow-cooker potato soup freezes beautifully. You can cut the veggies ahead of time for a lazy dinner later.

Notes

I personally prefer to leave potato skins on when I make this recipe, but you don’t have to. And feel free to leave out the corn if you don’t have that on hand, or add some a chicken breast or two if you want to bump up the protein. This recipe is very forgiving with the ingredients you toss into the cooker.
