Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large crockpot, combine the diced potatoes, onion, garlic, and broth.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes for a creamier texture.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, cheese, and crumbled bacon.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 30 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese and bacon if desired.

Notes

This soup keeps well in the fridge for about 3-5 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. For extra nutrition, you can add carrots or celery. Control the creaminess by mashing as little or as much of the potatoes as you like.
