Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 3 medium, peeled and diced Potatoes
- 2 medium, peeled and diced Carrots
- 2 stalks, diced Celery stalks
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
In the slow cooker, add the chicken broth, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, salt, black pepper, and ground mustard. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup in the slow cooker to create a slightly creamy texture while leaving some vegetable pieces intact. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, puree, and return to the pot.
Switch the slow cooker to the warm setting. Stir in heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and Worcestershire sauce until the cheeses are fully melted and the soup is smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley, if desired. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
