Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and finely chop the onion.
Add the diced potatoes, onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to your crock pot.
Stir the ingredients together and cover the crock pot with the lid.
Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup into a creamy consistency, or leave some potato chunks for a more rustic texture if desired.
Add the softened cream cheese to the crock pot and stir until completely melted and incorporated.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream until the soup is smooth and creamy.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve hot in bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and crumbled bacon, if desired.
