Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 4 large Russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 large Onion chopped
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Milk
For Toppings
  • 6 slices Bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons Chives chopped

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Place the diced potatoes, chopped onion, chicken broth, salt, and pepper into your slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Once the potatoes are tender, carefully remove about 2 cups of the soup solids and liquid to a blender. Blend until smooth, then return the mixture to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and milk. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Do not boil.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
