Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, for serving optional
  • Crumbled bacon, for serving optional

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Potato masher or immersion blender
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

  1. Place the cubed potatoes and diced onion in a slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the broth and stir in the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are very soft.
  4. Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash or puree about half of the potatoes, leaving the rest in chunks.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve the Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup warm, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, if desired.

Notes

For best results, use a slow cooker and cook the soup for the recommended time. Mashing or pureeing only a portion of the potatoes helps achieve the perfect balance of smooth and chunky textures. Adjust the seasoning to your personal taste preferences. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
