Description
A cozy and creamy potato soup made effortlessly in the slow cooker, perfect for feeding a crowd with minimal stress.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 2.5 pounds Potatoes
- 1 small Onion
- 2 to 3 cloves Garlic (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 to 1.5 cups Milk or Half and Half
- Optional: Sour Cream or Cream Cheese
- Optional: Shredded Cheddar
- Optional: Bacon Bits
- Optional: Green Onions
Instructions
- Peel and dice your potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Chop the onion small so it melts into the soup.
- Add potatoes, onion, garlic, broth, a pinch of salt, and a few cracks of pepper to the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 360 to 420 minutes or on high for 180 to 240 minutes, until the potatoes are very soft.
- Mash some of the potatoes right in the pot. If you want it smoother, use an immersion blender for a few quick pulses.
- Stir in butter, milk or half and half, and any creamy add-ins like sour cream or cream cheese.
- Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and maybe a little extra garlic powder if you want more punch.
- Serve hot with toppings.
Notes
For added texture, include toppings like loaded cheese, green onions, and bacon bits for a customized experience.
