    Potato soup recipes with few ingredients

    It's no secret that I love potatoes. I enjoy this humble veggie in any form - fried, roasted, baked, or breaded. And when I need something comforting to beat the winter chill, potato soups and stews are like little bits of heaven.

    Potato soup recipes with few ingredients featured

    Below, I've compiled a collection of the most delicious, soul-warming and drool-worthy potato soup recipes with few ingredients that are sure to become a staple in your kitchen all year round.

    While there's nothing like a bowl of ultra-comforting potato soup, a fuss-free meal is everyone's dream come true. Best part? you can add some delicious soup toppings that will enhance the flavor of your soups.

    These recipes call for 10 ingredients or less (excluding water and staples like oil, salt and pepper) and are incredibly easy to make. They'll come in extra handy on busy weeknights, cozy weekends, or when unexpected guests drop by. If you want chicken soups then I recommend you to explore my collection of easy soup recipes with chicken.

    From creamy to chunky, stovetop to slow cooker, vegetarian to meaty soups, you're sure to find a few new favorites on this potato soup recipes list.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you refrigerate leftover potato soup?

    Yes. You can store your potato soup in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

    Can you freeze potato soup?

    Yes, but it depends on the type of potato soup. Soups with any kind of cream or milk base don't hold up well in the freezer. They tend to separate, resulting in a grainy texture when thawed and reheated.

    Additionally, soups that use non-dairy milks like almond or coconut milk, hold up a bit better, but the texture still won't be the same.

    On the other hand, potato soups with no dairy freeze pretty well and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months in freezer safe containers or zip lock freezer bags.

    1. Slow Cooker Potato Soup

    This potato soup recipe is proof that soups don't need a laundry list of ingredients to be good. You only need 5 ingredients to whip up this rich and creamy soup.

    Best of all, everything goes into the slow cooker so you can come home to a meal ready to be served.

    2. Easy Instant Pot Potato Dill Soup

    Whether you load it up favorite toppings or not, this soup tastes amazing.

    Chicken broth provides a flavorful base, dill adds a bright, slightly sweet and lemony undertone, while half and half gives the soup a silky, luxurious texture.

    3. Creamy Potato Pumpkin Soup

    Not only is this velvety soup a snap to make, but it's vegan and naturally gluten-free, too.

    It would be a welcome addition to your dinner or holiday table and the leftovers taste even better the next day.

    If you prefer to skip the mild hassle of cutting and cooking and pureeing pumpkin, use the canned stuff instead.

    4. Easy 4-Ingredient Potato Soup

    This creamy and comforting soup is a great way to fill up your belly on cold winter days.

    Top it with crispy bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream, then serve it alongside for a dish you'll make to make again and again.

    5. 3 ingredient Easy Potato Soup

    This easy potato soup recipe transforms 3 basic ingredients into a bowl of savory and creamy (without using heavy cream) goodness that will please everyone at the table.

    The best part? It comes together in just 20 minutes and keeps well in the freezer for those nights when you want a comforting meal but don't have the time to spend it in the kitchen.

    6. Colcannon Soup (Irish Potato and Cabbage)

    Bring some bits of Irish to your kitchen with this rustic and simple Colcannon Soup recipe. It features onions, cabbage and potatoes with butter and cream for good measure.

    The result? A filling, comforting meal-in-a-bowl. Serve it solo or alongside crispy Irish cheddar sticks.

    7. Tuscan Sausage Potato Soup

    You're going to want to make this wholesome Tuscan sausage potato soup recipe all fall and winter long. It's easy, tastes amazing and makes great leftovers.

    If you or someone at the table is not a fan of spicy food, swap out hot Italian sausage for sweet Italian sausage.

    8. Crockpot Hash Brown Potato Soup

    Chicken broth, cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup and cream cheese make for a supremely creamy, stick-to-your-ribs potato soup you won't soon forget.

    All you need is a bowl spoon and some buttery biscuits for dunking.

    9. Turnip, Potato Sausage Soup

    Root veggies, Italian sausage, garlic and stock combine to make a hearty, nourishing and surprisingly good soup that's perfect for a chilly day.

    11. Zucchini Potato Soup with Bacon

    Tender bites of potatoes, shredded zucchini, and carrots are cooked in bacon grease and dill-infused chicken broth for an out-of-this-world flavor.

    A splash of cream gives it some lift without being too heavy. Stir in some parmesan cheese before serving for an extra bite of flavor.

    12. Easy Kale Potato and Sausage Soup

    Everything is cooked low and slow for several hours; then, heavy cream is stirred in just a few minutes before you're ready to serve to help thicken potato soup.

    Mashing half of the potatoes also adds a nice creamy mouthfeel to the soup. But if you prefer a creamier, smoother texture, puree all the potatoes in a blender or immersion blender.

    17. Creamy Cabbage Potato Soup

    Serve it with crackers or fresh, crusty bread for a satisfying meal that will warm you up on cold fall and winter nights.

    Loaded with bacon, chicken, potatoes, carrots, spinach and bacon, this is the ultimate potato soup recipe.

    It's hearty, full of flavor, quick and can easily be doubled for impromptu guests. The recipe calls for red potatoes, but russet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes also works.

    22. Slow Cooker Steak and Potato Soup

    This fantastic and insanely delicious soup is guaranteed to win rave reviews at the dinner table. It gets its great flavor from steak sauce, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper.

    There's something about the combination of sausage, potato and spinach that is so comforting and satisfying - especially when wrapped in a creamy broth.

    This recipe relies on heavy cream and milk to give it a thick creamy texture, but feel free to leave them out or coconut milk instead if you prefer a dairy-free soup.

    24. Jalapeno Potato Soup

    If you're into creamy, spicy soups, this might become your go-to recipe.

    Jalapeños give the old-fashioned potato soup a spicy twist that's extra warming on a chilly night. Serve it with pancetta and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt if desired.

    25. Polish Sauerkraut Soup

    This Polish-style soup couldn't be easier. All you have to do is sauté onions with bay leaf over medium heat, add sauerkraut and stock and simmer gently, stirring occasionally.

    Potatoes and cheese add body to the soup, making it deliciously creamy and flavorful. Give it a try this week and I'm sure it'll become your new favorite.

    31. Asparagus Potato Soup with Chive Cream
