How many people will one crockpot of soup feed?

As noted above, a 6-quart crockpot typically serves 8–10 people.

How to thicken crockpot potato soup?

Mash some cooked potatoes directly in the pot, or use a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) for extra thickness.

It’s a metaphor about generosity — just like potato soup can be stretched to feed more by adding ingredients, kindness grows when shared.

Crockpots excel in flavor melding and convenience, while stovetop cooking gives you faster results and more control over texture.

A creamy, comforting potato soup made effortlessly in the crockpot with shredded hash browns, cream cheese, cheddar, and savory seasonings.

Scale

In a slow cooker, combine chicken broth, thawed hash brown potatoes, onion, garlic, and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in cream cheese and half-and-half. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted and soup is creamy.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions if desired.

For extra thickness, mash some of the potatoes before adding the cheese. You can also use pre-cooked bacon for quicker prep.
