This Easy Crockpot Potato Soup with Hash Browns requires minimal prep and simple ingredients. Pureeing it at the end helps make it thick and creamy without adding any dairy!

Hi friends!
I’ve got a super easy crockpot recipe to share with you guys today and I have been loving it for the past few weeks. About a month ago I got a craving for potato soup. As usual, life is busy and I am always looking for shortcuts and for this recipe, like so many others, this comes in the form of frozen veggies.
I use frozen mixed vegetables all the time in recipes like:
Easy Crockpot Potato Soup with Frozen Hash Browns
The secret to making this recipe super easy is frozen hash browns, specifically diced hash browns. If you’re not a hash brown lover, you might not know that frozen hash brown potatoes are basically just frozen potatoes that have already been cut for you!
So all you have to do is dump them in the crockpot. They’re the perfect size for soup and they’re all evenly sized.
How To Make Slow Cooker Potato Soup with Hashbrowns
There are two parts to making this soup:
- Cook the potatoes and other veggies in the crockpot.
- Puree most of the soup to get a creamy consistency.
- Add in things you wouldn’t want to be pureed like chicken sausage and green onions and serve!
Healthy Crockpot Potato Soup with Hash Browns
Can I use regular potatoes?
You can absolutely use regular potatoes. Just be sure to dice them all the same size and fairly small so they cook nicely in the crockpot. Peel them or leave the skin on. Totally your preference.
Do I have to add carrots?
No, you don’t have to add carrots. I’m just of the opinion that if I’m going to puree something anyway, I might as well throw some extra veggies in there since you probably won’t notice. I did test this once with cauliflower rice instead of carrots and it was fine, especially if you like cauliflower. But I prefer carrots and I often add a red bell pepper as well.
How do I make vegetarian crockpot potato soup?
To make this vegetarian just leave out the sausage at the end. You can easily add a can of white beans to the soup along with potatoes and carrots. They’ll blend up nicely. I use that trick in my Leftover Turkey and White Bean Soup.
Crockpot Loaded Potato Soup with Hash Browns
Adding corn and chicken sausage to this recipe gives it a little twist on the classic potato soup recipe. I love blending the potatoes to make it creamy but also love adding some additional mix-ins to give the soup some texture.
I add chicken sausage for protein but you could also add some beans or some shredded rotisserie chicken. I prefer green onions to white so I mix those in at the end. If you’d like, you can add diced onions at the beginning and just garnish with a few green onions at the end.
How to make classic loaded potato soup in the crockpot?
If you’d prefer to make a more traditional version, you can skip adding the corn and sausage and stir in some heavy cream and cheese and then top with more cheese, bacon and green onions. Or try one of these recipes:

Crockpot Potato Soup with Hash Browns
This Easy Crockpot Potato Soup with Hash Browns requires minimal prep and simple ingredients. Pureeing it at the end helps make it thick and creamy without adding any dairy!
- Prep Time: 5 min
- Cook Time: 8 hours
- Total Time: 8 hours 5 minutes
- Yield: serves 6
Ingredients
- 5 cups diced hash brown potatoes
- 2 cups frozen carrots
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can green chilis
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 – 1 tsp cayenne
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 chicken sausages, sliced
- 1 can corn
- 3/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Combine the potatoes, carrots, chicken broth, green chilis, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and salt in a crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Transfer half to three-quarters of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Or use an immersion blender right in the pot to blend to desired consistency.
- Pour back into the crockpot and add chicken sausage, corn and green onions.
- Add a little more broth to thin it to your desired consistency if needed and cook an additional hour or two.
- Taste and adjust seasonings before serving if needed. You may want to add more salt or make it spicier with more cayenne pepper.
Notes
Pureeing the soup is optional. If you prefer a chunkier soup you can skip that step but it will be more broth-based vs creamy. You can also use an immersion blender if you have one.
Crockpot Potato Soup FAQs
Can I make crockpot potato soup with bacon?
Yep! I personally think the bacon would be best as a topping. I would cook it separately and then dice it up and add just before serving. If you want to add it at the beginning, I would still cook it first before adding to the slow cooker. Here’s a recipe for Slow Cooker Potato Soup with Bacon.
How can I make this vegan crockpot potato soup?
To make this recipe vegan, swap chicken broth for vegetable broth and leave out the chicken sausage. For protein you could add in a can of white beans or even try some lentils or vegan sausage.
Can I make potato soup with frozen potatoes besides hash browns?
Yes! This soup works with any time of diced frozen potatoes, not just hashbrowns. You could look for frozen diced and peeled white potatoes or something like Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes as well.
Can I make potato soup with shredded hash browns?
Yes! You don’t have to use a diced potato for this recipe although it’s what I prefer. If you like the texture of shredded potatoes, they’re totally fine to use. Since you’re blending up a lot of the soup anyways, the shape doesn’t matter too much.
How can I make this a 5 ingredient crockpot potato soup?
Use potatoes, broth, green chilis, salt and chicken sausage for a super simple potato soup option.
What makes this a creamy potato soup with hashbrowns?
There’s no actual cream in this recipe, although you could add some if you wanted to. When you use a blender or immersion blender to blend most of the potato mixture, you’ll get a thick, creamy soup with a velvety texture, no need to add any cream!
If you don’t have an immersion blender, it can be a great addition to your kitchen especially if you like to puree soups. Here’s a Kitchenaid Immersion Blender that I like! (aff link) If you prefer a full size blender, the Nutribullet is my favorite (aff link).
This recipe is so easy but full of flavor as well. Want more potato recipes? Try:
