Crock Pot Spicy Chunky Potato Soup is a great way to serve the family a warming and satisfying meal. What kind of potatoes make the best chunky potato soup? I’m glad you asked.

How to make a creamy chunky potato soup?

Have you ever tried to make a chunky potato soup recipe and after cooking it for a bit you realized your potatoes have completely disintegrated? That your chunky potato soup recipe pretty much looks like a creamy potato soup recipe?

That might not be a bad thing if what you were trying to make was a creamy potato soup. I love creamy potato soup but sometimes I want a potato soup with a bit more substance. A potato soup that is filling and satisfying. For me that is a chunky potato soup. One that is brimming with chunks of tender pieces of potatoes.

Well, the trick to making a potato soup that is chunky depends on the type of potatoes you use to make your chunky potato soup. Russet potatoes are the best potato to use when making a chunky potato soup.

Russet potatoes can stand up to the long cooking time in a slow cooker and still keep their shape after 10 hours of slow cooking.

They hold their shape so well that if you want your Crock Pot Potato Soup base to be creamy and  and still have potato chunks you are going to have to zap some of those cooked potatoes in a blend or food processor to break them down and add them back to your slow cooker.
