Nothing says comfort food quite like meat and potatoes! This Slow Cooker Hamburger Potato Soup is a delicious combination of ground beef, potatoes, cheese and cream. It’s the perfect meal for busy weeknights or Sunday dinners when you’re short on prepping time. Best of all, it’s a family friendly meal that everyone will love! If you’re looking for an effortless meal that tastes great every time, give this Slow Cooker Hamburger Potato Soup a try!
I like to use larger pieces so you can really dig into them. Many times, the smaller potato pieces get lost in the soup when they fall apart into small pieces. See my photos below for approximate size.
Certainly! If peas and carrots aren’t your thing, you can omit them or you can swap them out (or add in) other vegetables.

👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Brown the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. 🍖🔥

Add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. 🥔🥕🌿

Pour in the chicken or beef broth.
Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. 🍲🌿
4️⃣ Cook on Low:
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and vegetables are tender. ⏲️
5️⃣ Add Cream and Cheese:
Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk.
If you prefer a thicker soup, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well.
Continue to cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. 🥛🧀
6️⃣ Serve:
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and extra shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal. 🍞🌿🧀
