Slow Cooker Hash Brown Potato Leek is an effortless soup to make that turns out wonderful!

3 bowls of hashbrown leek soup.

A while back I made a potato cheese soup in the slow cooker with frozen hash brown potatoes that I really enjoyed. I came up with this idea to use hash brown potatoes in potato leek soup. Not only is it way easier than peeling and cutting potatoes, I really liked the texture of the hash brown potatoes in this soup.

In the photo below I start with the frozen hash brown potatoes, cut leeks, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaves and garlic. I also add chicken broth. Chicken broth is my favorite way to flavor meat-less soups, it adds more flavor than adding water. Make sure to rinse the leeks after cutting them, so much sand get trapped in the layers!

Below is what the soup looks like after cooking for 4 hours on high with cream added. I decided to add cooked bacon on top for a little crunch, so good!

This hash brown potato leek soup for my family is enough for a main course with French bread. The soup is even better heated up for lunch the next day.

      I have access to wild leeks (ramps). Do you think the amount would be the same?
      Love you recipes.
      I’m making this one.
      Thanks

          Made this tonight with wild leeks picked this afternoon. Followed the recipe but made it on the stovetop. Brought it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple hours. Served it with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, and crackers. My wife and I and two daughters really liked it.
          Thanks.

        Hi Kathy, Thank you for ordering the book! There is a button for printing on the recipe card. Let me know if you still can’t get that to work.

          Thanks for your quick response, Sarah! Still can’t get the recipe to connect to my printer. I will simply save it as a bookmark and pull it up on screen when I prepare it…I suspect it’s gonna be well worth it !

      Could chopped fresh potato be used instead? Thanks.

        Yes that would work fine. Depending on the size of the potatoes you may need to cook a little longer.
