Cheesy Potato Soup (30 Minutes + One Pot)

By Published in 30 Minutes or Less

This Cheesy Potato Soup is a one pan, 30 minute meal! This gluten free comfort food is one your entire family will love! Top this cheesy potato soup with bacon and green onions!

Easy Potato Soup! Top with bacon cheddar and green onions for the ultimate comfort food!

Soup season has always been my favorite. One of the best soups is a classic Homemade Tomato Soup, but this Potato Soup is a close second! I think there is something so comforting about a nice warm bowl of soup on a chilly day. While I truly enjoy all kinds of soup but potato soup is always at the top of my list. Cheesy potato soup topped with crispy bacon, fresh green onions and shredded cheddar cheese is always a crowd pleaser. This is my favorite easy cheesy potato soup reason because it takes only 30 minutes and is made in one pot. This is a perfect short cut recipe that works for busy days.

Can Cheesy Potato Soup be made ahead of time?

This soup is a great option for a freezer or meal prep because it reheats perfectly. I actually recently made a batch for my sister in law for an “after baby” meal. Just thaw and reheat! Depending on how thick you like your soup you may want to thin it with a little bit of milk or broth.  Of course this is also a good gluten free lunch because it makes a good amount and reheats and stores so well.

What toppings go well with Potato Soup?

Of course the classic bacon, green onions and cheddar cheese topping are my favorite. However, if you want to mix things up here are some great topping ideas!

  • Diced Ham
  • Jalapeno Slices
  • Pepper Jack Cheese
  • Salsa
  • Red Onion
  • Oyster Crackers (if not gluten free)
  • A drizzle of buffalo sauce

    Gah so so so so true!! You think you can do it alone, but you need a great support system! Probably the best lesson to learn in blogging. Congrats on everything you have learned and accomplished in a year! You are amazing!

    GREAT post. So many truth bombs in there! I agree that blogging is HARD. Sooooo much time investment, dedication, business savvy, initiative - it can easily take over every minute of my day, AND THEN SOME. There's always more to do! But, I love it too. It's so fun and rewarding. Meeting fellow bloggers and networking has been such a wonderful piece of it too. Delightful and friendly people like YOU, girl! :) The negativity in the internet is actually astonishing. Totally astonishing, and you are right - it's them! In the words of the incomparable Taylor Swift: 'shake it off'. Haha! This soup, btw, looks positively incredible! I heart soup more than I can put into words, and potato soup is among my favorites!!!

      I am so glad you can relate to this Sarah!! I almost deleted the part about negative people, but the truth is I REALLY wasn't prepared for that! That might totally sound crazy, but I just wasn't ready for it. It really is something you have to be mentally prepared for!

    Congrats on making it a year in this crazy but rewarding game of blogging! I love what you said about not being able to do this alone. You are soo right about that. This soup is fantastic. I can't wait to see what awaits you in another 365 days!

    This soup looks fantastic Annie! Congrats on one year of blogging! So glad to have "met" you this year. Blogging definitely takes over your life, that has surprised me a little. But it's also surprised me how many virtual friends you can make through it - I've enjoyed "meeting" other bloggers more than I expected too. That's not the part I thought I'd like - like you said, you figure it will be a solo thing but it's really not! And BTW your photos of that soup are amazing, I love those bowls! :)

      I am so glad we are friends too Natalie!! :) I am glad this resonated with you, blogging is kind of mystery to so many people that I know so I love sharing my thoughts with people who not only understand, but live this too!

    Happy blog birthday! What a beautiful post! You are totally right, it took me a long time to realize that you need a support system out there, and you've been such a great supporter of mine, so THANK-YOU :) :) :) Can't wait to see what year 2 of Maebells brings!

      I am so glad we are blogging buddies Denise!! I was just telling Clayton how lonely and lost I would be without my blogger friends! It has been a great experience to share our successes (and failures) with each other!

    Annie, what an amazing and inspiring post! I agree 100% about everything that you wrote about blogging. It takes a village, a support system, and lots of failures to even begin to have some success. I didn't really know what I was getting into when starting my blog, and I never knew I would love every single aspect of it as much as I do. You have come such a long way within the past year and I'm so glad that we're blogging friends (and can't wait to meet you in person next month, too)! I wish you continued success and can't wait to see what you bring us this year! And this potato soup looks fantastic...gorgeous pictures, friend!

    Annie, this is a wonderful! I couldn't have said it as well, but you have expressed so many of my own thoughts. Blogging is HARD, alright ... but totally worth it ;-) The best part is all the great like-minded people from around the world that you meet! Love the soup, too ... I bet those toppings send it soaring up into soup heaven!

    Happy one year blog anniversary, Annie! I think your first paragraph pretty much sums up how much I knew when I first started blogging too. I love your part about the negative comments, it's soooo true. I absolutely love your blog and am so glad we've become friends! You work so incredibly hard when it comes blogging and I think that's the reason you've come as far as you have in one year. I can't wait to see what the next year holds for you! <3

    Congratulations on your successful first year! I'm not a blogger (heck...I'm not even sure I really understand what a "blog" is) but I do appreciate and enjoy reading yours! Thanks for all the great recipes and best wishes for another successful and blessed year.

    Congratulations on a year of blogging, Annie! You have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time! You are so right that you can't do this blogging thing alone- that was my realization this year, too. All of the time and effort is so worth it when you really love what you do. :) This potato soup looks perfect! I love that it has cream cheese and cheddar in it.

    Happy blog birthday, Annie, and this is such a well-written post! Blogging is hard work, and every little question that you have snowballs into 10-20 more...you're so right. I'm so glad we've connected and you've got a GREAT thing going here! I love this soup, and your blog! :)

    I really enjoyed reading this Annie. I was thinking, "AMEN!" as I read each of the things you learned this year. Some of the most unlikely of my local friends and acquaintances have ended up being my biggest supporters in blogging, and it makes me tear up sometimes! So glad that our paths have crossed just recently and look forward to being part of the same "support group" of bloggers.

Can't wait to see what this year brings :)

    I really enjoyed reading this, Annie, and I relate to it on so many levels. Blogging is so much harder than I ever imagined, but also even more rewarding. I laughed out loud about the snowball effect of googling a question because that really hit home! :) Congrats on an amazing year, and I'm so happy to have your lovely blog to follow! :) And I need some of this potato soup in my life!

    Congrats on 1 year Annie, that's awesome! :) and I agree with you..blogging is way too hard than what people assume it to be..it's 24 hour job with no vacations and we have to take in a lot, which includes not no friendly comments at times... but anyway if you love it..then it's fun... whatever isn't fun becomes boring eventually.. I wish you and your blog a very successful 2015! :)
