Ingredients
6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Place the diced potatoes, diced onion, and minced garlic into the slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables in the slow cooker.
Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and smoked paprika to the slow cooker and stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are very tender.
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, partially mash the potatoes in the slow cooker to create a creamy texture, leaving some chunks for texture.
Stir in the butter, whole milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream until fully combined and the cheese has melted.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
