A Ricci soliton $(M^n,g,v,lambda)$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ is said to have concurrent potential field if its potential field $v$ is a concurrent vector field. In the first part of this paper we completely classify Ricci solitons with concurrent potential fields. In the second part we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a submanifold to be a Ricci soliton in a Riemannian manifold equipped with a concurrent vector field. In the last part, we classify shrinking Ricci solitons with $lambda=1$ on Euclidean hypersurfaces. Several applications of our results are also presented.
