Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Chop the onion finely, and have your chicken broth ready to go.
- Add the potatoes, onion, and chicken broth to your crockpot. Stir everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to low. Let it cook for 6 hours. During this time, the potatoes will soften and absorb all the delicious flavors of the broth and onion.
- Once the potatoes are tender, use a potato masher or the back of a large spoon to mash them slightly. Leave some chunks if you like a little texture in your soup.
- Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the soup. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Don’t skip this step—seasoning is key to bringing out all the flavors.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with crispy bacon bits and chopped green onions.
