Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • potato masher

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb Russet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Chives
  • Sour Cream, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place the cubed potatoes, diced onion, and minced garlic in the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the potatoes are completely tender and break apart easily.
  • Using a potato masher, mash about half of the potatoes directly in the slow cooker, leaving some chunks for texture.
  • Add the cubed cream cheese and heavy cream to the slow cooker. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with the remaining shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh chives.
