Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 8 oz cream cheese optional for extra creaminess
  • Bacon bits green onions, shredded cheese for serving

Method
 

  1. Add potatoes, onion, chicken broth, butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are very soft.
  3. Lightly mash the potatoes inside the slow cooker for a thicker texture.
  4. Stir in milk or heavy cream until the soup becomes creamy.
  5. Add shredded cheese or cream cheese if using, stirring until melted and smooth.
  6. Adjust seasoning and consistency as needed with more broth or milk.
  7. Serve warm with bacon, green onions, and extra cheese.

Notes

• Yukon Gold potatoes create an even creamier texture.
• Use an immersion blender for a smoother soup.
• For a lighter version, use evaporated milk instead of cream.
• Add ham, corn, or celery for extra flavor and texture.
• If too thick, add more broth; if too thin, simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
