  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions, for serving optional

Equipment

  • Crock Pot
  • Potato masher or immersion blender
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

  1. In a large Crock Pot, combine the diced potatoes, onion, and broth.
  2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are very soft.
  3. Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash or blend the potatoes until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese until fully incorporated and the soup is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, use a combination of starchy Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. The addition of cream cheese helps create a rich, velvety mouthfeel. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
