I really should call this recipe "Mom's Potato Soup" because she's made it for years! This Velveeta Potato Soup has seen me through some of the coldest Kansas winters and been delivered to LOTS of friends for emotional support.

This is the best emotional support soup! Ha! If you show up with a piping hot bowl of this soup to a sick friend or a new mama I promise it'll be a hit.

How To Make Potato Soup with Velveeta

It simply starts with potatoes! Chop up your potatoes and boil until tender.

The cheesy goodness gets added in after the potatoes are completely cooked through and velveeta cheese and cream of chicken soup combine to make the heartiest soup ever!

Do I Have To Peel The Potatoes?

I actually don't peel them for this recipe. But if you have an aversion to leaving the skin on, by all means peel them!

Can I Use A Crock Pot?

YES! You can definitely dump everything in a crock pot, minus the velveeta cheese, and let that go on low for 6-8 hours.

At the end, simply cut the velveeta into chunks and place them on top. Cover and allow them to melt. Stir the soup up and serve!

How To Store Velveeta Potato Soup

This soup stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.

It also freezes VERY well! Making it perfect to make ahead of time and take out portions as needed.

What Do You Serve with Potato Soup?

In my opinion there is nothing better than dunking fresh toast into soup!

You could serve this in a sourdough bread bowl or with a slice of sourdough toast.

A huge salad would also be delicious next to this soup! Try salads such as Apple Crunch Salad or Peach Proscuitto Salad

    Do you drain the water after the potatoes are done cooking?

      No, you do not drain it. When it mixes with the cream of chicken soup and melted cheese it creates the base broth of the soup!

      Yes you definitely could! You could add 2-3 stalks of celery as well as 2-3 carrots, finely diced!

      Do you cover the potatoes with water when using a crockpot?

        Typically yes, because that ends up being the base for the rest of the soup. However, I know some crackpots might not hold that much in addition to the rest of the ingredients so you could fill it to just below the tops of the potatoes! Hope this helps!

    Hi Sara, This looks great! How do you recommend freezing and defrosting? -Shannon

      I typically put it away in Tupperware containers with about 2-3 servings in each Tupperware and freeze it that way! Simply place the frozen Tupperware in the fridge overnight to defrost, or I've also just put the frozen soup in a pot and defrosted it that way. Just be sure not to stir it up too hard when defrosting on the stove so the potatoes don't crumble apart. Hope this helps!

    Can I add cream of Bacon instead of cream of Chicken?

      I've never tried cream of bacon before! If it is a condensed soup like cream of chicken then yes you can! I bet that would taste amazing too. Great suggestion.

    Very easy and tasty. I only used about 1/2 tsp salt and cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken because that's what I had. Cream of celery would probably be good too.
