Remove the cooked potatoes from the heat. Add the cream cheese and Velveeta cheese to the potato pot. Tip: the cheese melts faster if cubed first. After the cheese is melted, you can add the rest of the ingredients.

Instead of the soup simmering in the same pot, I like to transfer it to a crock pot before adding the rest of the ingredients. Then it can set and simmer without worrying about it sticking to the pot or cooking too much.

Crock Pot Potato Soup

If using a crock pot, pour in the cooked potato and cheese mixture. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Let simmer. This is a hearty soup. Serve it with some crusty bread for lunch or dinner. You can also top the soup with bacon bits if so desired.
