Hearty Crockpot Sausage Potato Soup for Cozy Homestead Nights
There’s just something about a big pot of soup simmering away on the counter that makes a house feel like home. On our little homestead, I love recipes that warm the kitchen, fill the air with cozy aromas, and make use of pantry staples we always keep on hand. This Crockpot Sausage Potato Soup is one of those recipes.
It’s rich, creamy, and hearty enough to feed the whole family after a long day of work outside or even just a chilly day indoors. I think of it as a twist on classic potato soup, with the sausage adding that rustic, comfort-food depth of flavor. And the best part? It’s a true “set it and forget it” crockpot recipe.

Tips for Crockpot Sausage Potato Soup
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference—add more garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
- Add up to two more large potatoes to make the soup even heartier.
- Don’t add raw sausage directly to the crockpot—browning it first keeps the soup from becoming greasy.
This soup is one of those meals that feels like a hug in a bowl. On the homestead, we love pairing it with a slice of homemade bread or a side salad from the garden. It’s simple food, made with love, and the crockpot makes it even easier to keep homemade meals on the table.
