Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized, peeled and diced Russet potatoes
• 1 medium-sized, diced Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 8 oz, softened Cream cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 6 slices, cooked and crumbled Bacon
• 3 chopped Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Transfer to the crockpot.

Step 2

To the crockpot, add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir everything to combine.

Step 3

Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are cooked through, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash slightly for a chunkier texture or blend fully for a smoother consistency, depending on your preference.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the soup in the crockpot.

Step 6

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 7

Let the soup warm through for an additional 15-20 minutes on low heat.

Step 8

Serve hot in bowls. Top each serving with crumbled bacon, additional shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
