Ingredients

• 6 medium, peeled and diced Russet potatoes
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup, for garnish Chopped green onions
• 4 slices, crumbled (optional, for garnish) Cooked bacon

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, even-sized cubes. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

In your slow cooker, combine the diced potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken broth, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easily mashable.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the slow cooker until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend half the soup and leave the rest chunky.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot, topped with green onions, crumbled bacon (if using), and extra shredded cheese as garnish.
