Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized, peeled and diced Russet potatoes
- 1 medium-sized, diced Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 8 oz, softened Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 6 slices, cooked and crumbled Bacon
- 3 chopped Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Transfer to the crockpot.
To the crockpot, add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir everything to combine.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash slightly for a chunkier texture or blend fully for a smoother consistency, depending on your preference.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the soup in the crockpot.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Let the soup warm through for an additional 15-20 minutes on low heat.
Serve hot in bowls. Top each serving with crumbled bacon, additional shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
