Soccer Mom Soup–Instant Pot or Crockpot broccoli, cheese and bacon soup that only has 5 ingredients! A fast and easy dinner for busy parents.
Soccer Mom Soup
Soccer moms are modern-day superheroes! They juggle chauffeuring, managing household chores and often holding down a job. With such a busy lifestyle, it’s nice to have a quick, nutritious, and comforting meal on hand that you can literally put together in less than 5 minutes. That’s where “Soccer Mom Soup” comes into play. This easy-to-make soup only has 5 ingredients, contains a vegetable (WINNING!) and is a warm hug in a bowl. My family loved this soup and I will be using it in the future when I have a busy day! You may just want to double the recipe because one batch was barely enough.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Chicken broth–or water and Better than Bouillon
- Frozen broccoli–or fresh broccoli
- Campbell’s cream of potato soup
- Bacon crumbles
- Shredded cheddar cheese–or colby jack
Steps
Pour broth into bottom of Instant Pot. Spread out broccoli evenly in bottom of pot. Scoop the cream of potato soup on top of the broccoli.

Whisk in the bacon and cheddar until melted.
Ladle into bowls and serve.
Notes/Tips
- Serve with a dinner roll, cornbread or French bread.
- This recipe doesn’t make a large amount. You may want to double the recipe or even triple the recipe if serving a crowd.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with bacon crumbles are Grandpa Jim’s Potatoes and Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Cauliflower.

Delicious and EASY! Even my picky kids loved it! Thank you!
★★★★★
Thanks so much for the 5 stars Andrea!
Good stuff Karen! I did use a whole cup of bacon crumbs and shredded a whole 8 oz block of colby jack so it would be nice and creamy.Split a sub roll in half, slathered butter on it and sprinkled garlic powder for a quick air fryer garlic toast. Dinner is served! Thanks again.
★★★★★
air fryer garlic toast!! Brilliant! going to try this!
Made this tonight and loved it! So easy to make. I doubled the recipe so I had leftovers.
Yay! Thanks Amy!
Instead of cream of potato soup you could use cream of celery or cream of mushroom or, golden cream of mushroom soup. Just a thought. I hope this helps. .
★★★★★
Although I have not tried this recipe yet, I would imagine any cream soup such as celery, chicken or mushroom would work.
yeah, I think you’re right. The good thing about the potato soup is you get chunks of potatoes in the soup.
This was delicious. I deviated a bit, but I need meat !
I browned a lb of turkey and I may have added more than 1/2 cup of bacon crumbles.
★★★★★
good idea! Love that!
Do I need to add equal parts water for the soup?
Nope, you just add the condensed soup in without diluting it.
Does anyone have a suggestion if they don’t have cream of potato soup in their pantry? 🙂
