Ingredients:

 

6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, finely diced

4 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (plus extra for topping)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish


Instructions:

1. Prepare the soup base:

Place the diced potatoes, onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper into your crock pot. Stir well to combine.

2. Cook:

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3. Blend for texture (optional):

For a smoother consistency, blend some of the potatoes using an immersion blender directly in the pot. Leave some potato chunks intact for added texture.

 

4. Incorporate the creamy ingredients:

Stir in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and crumbled bacon. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are melted and well combined.

5. Serve and garnish:

Spoon the soup into bowls and top with extra bacon, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions, if desired.

Pro Tips:

Add diced carrots or celery for extra flavor and nutrition.

Substitute cream cheese with heavy cream for a lighter version of the soup.

Pair with warm, crusty bread or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy this hearty and delicious soup – it’s sure to become a family favorite!
