Sausage Potato Soup Crockpot Recipe

This crockpot sausage potato soup is one of those easy comfort food family dinners, and it’s perfect for a busy weeknight. The soup is filled with tender potatoes, sausage, and a creamy broth, and the best part is it cooks all day in the crockpot. Meaning it’s ready after school pick-up, the kids’ practices, and those long, dark winter days. You can make this with store bought sausage or homemade sausage.

Crockpot Sausage Potato Soup Recipe Ingredients:

• Potato– Any potato will work; russet potatoes are what I have used most often in this recipe, but gold potatoes and red potatoes will work too.

• Butter
• Chicken Bouillon Base
• Parsley Leaves
• Water
• Sausage– Any rope sausage will work for this recipe
• Milk
• Flour
• Shredded Cheese
• Optional Velveeta cheese

How To Make slow cooker Sausage Potato Soup:

You can use any size crockpot to make this in, I recommend a 6 Quart crockpot or 8 Quart Crockpot to make this in.

Peel and cube up potatoes for your soup, you can leave the peels but my kids prefer no peels. 

Slice your sausage into about 1 inch slices, or you can also make the pieces smaller.

Spray your Crockpot with non-stick spray or line it with a crockpot liner.

Put in potato, onions, butter, bouillon (I use Better Than Bouillon Organic Chicken Base for ours), parsley, and water.

Cook on low at the 3-hour mark, put in the sliced sausage in the soup. (About 1 hour – 1 1/2 hours on high)

Allow to cook on low for another 1 1/2 hours (or about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes on high)

1/2 hour to an hour before serving in a small bowl whisk together the milk and flour.

Add the milk and flour mixture to the soup and stir well.

1/2 hour to an hour before serving add the milk and flour mixture to the soup.

After the soup thickens it is ready to serve

Top with cheese and enjoy!!

How to store leftover crockpot potato sausage soup

Allow the leftover soup to cool off and store it in an airtight container. This can be stored in the fridge for three to five days after cooking. To freeze, move to an airtight container and store it for up to three months in the freezer.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
