This crockpot corn potato soup is easy to make and the perfect soup to enjoy this weekend! This is a simple soup that’s just right for a chilly day. Serve this with some egg free biscuits or homemade crackers.
When the fall weather hits, I pretty much want soup all the time. Am I the only one?
We eat a lot of soup around here, because it’s quick and easy to make, and it’s a nice way to warm up on a cold evening. Some of our favorites include sweet potato rice soup, lentil sausage soup, and vegan black bean soup.
Now we have another favorite to add to the list – this crockpot potato corn soup. This is such a simple soup, but it has a lot of flavor. We like to add ham to this soup, so this is a great recipe to make when you have a lot of leftover holiday ham.
If you want to make this corn potato soup vegan, leave the ham out (of course), and you may want to add a bit more salt. I’ve made it without ham and it turns out really well – it’s still a very comforting and tasty soup.
What kind of potatoes should I use in this recipe?
I love Yukon Gold potatoes – they have a wonderful flavor and texture. If you don’t have Yukon Golds, you can try redskin potatoes – those should work well, too.
Can I make this on the stove?
Yes, you can make this on the stove if you prefer. Just add everything to a soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until the potatoes are tender – about 20-25 minutes or so.

How much corn has to be added, please. I can’t see it in the ingredient list.

I used a 12 ounce bag of frozen corn kernels. Sorry about that, it was not listed in the recipe! My mistake.

Soup is just too perfect for the fall! I cannot remember the last time I made a vege soup from scratch before, you definitely have inspired me to do so soon. Thanks Kelly!

It’s supposed to be Summer here in Australia (well, in 1 month) but let’s just say this recipe would be considered weather appropriate right now. Love the serving dish!
