My Best Crockpot Creamy Soup Hack
Anytime I’m making a creamy soup in the crockpot, this is my number one trick:
I use two jars of Bertolli® d’Italia Alfredo Sauce as the base.
I’ve done taste tests, and there is no better jarred Alfredo sauce on the market. It already contains fresh cream, butter, and Italian aged cheeses, which means:
- You don’t need to make a roux
- You don’t need multiple dairy ingredients
- It turns out perfectly creamy
- And most importantly — it won’t curdle in the slow cooker
It’s honestly the easiest way to build a rich, restaurant-style creamy soup without any stress, and it works beautifully in recipes like this one.
🤔 Common Questions
Yes! Mild Italian sausage works great if you don’t want heat. You can also use turkey sausage or chicken sausage—just be sure it’s fully cooked before adding it to the crockpot.
Absolutely. For a thicker soup, mash a few of the cooked potatoes right in the crockpot before adding the Alfredo sauce. For a thinner soup, stir in a little extra chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.
