Ingredients (Serves 6-8)

• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Green onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Assemble the Base

1. In your crock pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 2: Blend for Creaminess

1. Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky for texture. (Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the crock pot.)

Step 3: Add the Cheese and Cream

1. Stir in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, heavy cream, and sour cream. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
2. Let the soup cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on low to fully combine flavors.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

1. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and extra cheddar cheese if desired.
2. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for the ultimate comfort meal.

Tips for Success

• Add Veggies: Stir in frozen corn or peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking for extra flavor and color.
• Make It Lighter: Substitute heavy cream with milk and sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
• Meal Prep-Friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid curdling.
