Paula Deen Potato Soup
Description
This potato soup relies on cubed russet potatoes simmered with diced onions, canned cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth in a slow cooker. Cooking on low for several hours softens the potatoes thoroughly, allowing the flavors to meld without stirring.
Once the potatoes and broth have cooked, cream cheese and shredded cheddar are stirred in, creating a creamy and cheesy base with a smooth consistency. The soup can then be garnished with toppings such as cooked bacon and chopped chives for extra flavor and texture.
Serving warm, it works well as a filling lunch or dinner starter, especially during colder months. The seasoned broth and cheese combine for a familiar comfort food profile.
The notes mention using frozen diced hash browns as a potato substitute for convenience and recommend refrigerating leftovers in airtight containers for up to five days. As the soup thickens when chilled, adding broth during reheating helps restore the original consistency.
