Instructions:
Prepare the base:
• Add diced potatoes, onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper to your crock pot. Stir to combine.
Cook:
• Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Blend (optional):
• For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to blend some of the potatoes directly in the pot. Leave some chunks for texture, if desired.
Add the creamy ingredients:
• Stir in cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and bacon. Mix until everything is melted and combined.
Serve:
• Ladle into bowls and top with extra bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions if desired.
Tips:
• Add extra veggies like carrots or celery for a twist.
• Swap cream cheese with heavy cream for a lighter version.
• Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
