Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a lighter version)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- First things first, grab your slow cooker and toss in those diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic. These flavors are gonna mix like they’ve been best friends for years!
- Now, pour in that broth to give it some life. Stir it up and sprinkle a little salt and pepper to kickstart the seasoning!
- Set your slow cooker to low and let it work its magic for about 6-8 hours, or if you’re short on time, set it to high for 3-4 hours. You want those potatoes to be fork-tender, honey!
- When the potatoes are nice and soft, it’s time to get creamy. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender for a smoother texture. I like mine a little chunky, but do what’s best for your taste!
- Next, stir in the heavy cream and let that cheddar cheese melt right on in. The more cheese, the better, I always say. Let it warm through for another 15-20 minutes.
- When you’re ready to serve, ladle that creamy goodness into bowls and top with extra shredded cheese, some chopped chives or green onions for that fresh pop, and maybe a little more pepper if you like it spicy!
And there you have it! A slow cooker creamy potato soup that’s sure to warm your heart and fill your belly. Perfect for any gathering, or just because you want to treat yourself. Cozy up and enjoy every single spoonful!
