Ingredients
  

Slow Cooker Soup Base
  • 3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Creamy Finishing & Toppings
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled (divided)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded (divided)
  • 1/3 cup fresh green scallions or chives, sliced

Method
 

Slow Cooking & Finishing
  1. Place the cubed russet potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over everything.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Use an immersion blender or potato masher directly in the slow cooker to mash about half of the potatoes until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, half of the crumbled bacon, and 1.5 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and velvety.
  5. Cover and let cook on LOW for another 15-20 minutes until completely warmed through and rich.
  6. Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining sharp cheddar, crispy crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions.
