An Easy High-Protein Crockpot Breakfast Soup Recipe I Didn’t Expect to Love


a bowl of breakfast soup from the crockpot with toasted bread

When the temperatures drop here in Minnesota, my family instantly switches into soup mode. But breakfast soup? I’ll admit, when someone challenged me to make a crockpot breakfast soup, my first reaction was, “That can’t be good.”


I’m happy to report I was very wrong!


This recipe turned out to be one of the easiest crockpot soups I’ve ever made. Throw it together the night before, wake up to a hearty, warm breakfast that tastes like a hug!


It’s packed with potatoes, sausage, bacon, tomatoes and topped with fresh scrambled eggs. Perfect for chilly fall and winter mornings when everyone needs something warm and filling before heading outside for chores, work or school.


And the best part? It’s fully customizable, add onions, peppers or even spinach if your crew wants extra veggies.


Ingredients

(Serves 6–8)

  • 3 cups diced potatoes

  • 15 oz canned diced tomatoes (don’t drain!)

  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 lb. sliced breakfast sausage (frozen works great!)

  • ½–1 cup cooked bacon pieces

  • 1 packet Hollandaise sauce mix

    • Or substitute with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne pepper

  • 4 scrambled eggs (for topping)


Directions

  1. Dice potatoes and add to your crockpot.

  2. Add tomatoes, sausage and bacon.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, garlic and hollandaise mix. Pour over ingredients.

  4. Cook:

    • High: 4 hours

    • Low: 8 hours or overnight

  5. When ready to serve, scramble fresh eggs and spoon them on top of each bowl.

  6. Serve with sourdough or your favorite crusty bread.


Why This Recipe Works So Well

This crockpot breakfast soup checks all the boxes for a cozy cold-weather breakfast:

  • Warm and hearty for Minnesota’s chilly fall and winter mornings

  • Hands-off and easy—prep it the night before and wake up to breakfast ready

  • Great for using up extra eggs, especially when your hens are laying more than you can keep up with

  • Protein-packed to keep everyone full and fueled

  • Easy to customize with veggies, seasonings or whatever you have on hand


My family quickly got over the idea of “soup for breakfast,” and this one is officially in our rotation.


Give Breakfast Soup a Try!

So here’s your challenge: make a batch, ladle it into a bowl on a frosty morning and see if you’re as surprised as I was. It’s cozy, budget-friendly and absolutely delicious.


Until next time,
