Description
A comforting and creamy slow cooker potato soup made with tender potatoes, onions, garlic, and a touch of cream. Perfect for an easy and hearty meal.
Ingredients
6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme into the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are very tender.
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, partially mash the potatoes in the slow cooker to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
Stir in the unsalted butter, whole milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Cook uncovered on low for an additional 15 minutes to heat through and thicken slightly.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and chopped fresh chives.
