Ingredients
 
 

Main Ingredients
  • 6 medium potatoes sliced
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 4 cups seasoned chicken broth mixed with salt and pepper
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 cup shredded cheese for topping
  • 1/2 cup crispy bacon for topping
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions for topping
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Method
 

  1. Grease the slow cooker with cooking spray or butter. Layer the sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add the chopped onions on top of the layered potatoes. Mix the chicken broth with salt and pepper, then pour it over the potato-onion layers. It's okay if the broth doesn't completely cover everything.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to HIGH for 3-5 hours. Do not lift the lid during cooking to maintain heat and steam.
  4. Once the potatoes are tender, use a potato masher to mash the mixture to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in the half-and-half and cover. Cook on HIGH for an additional 20 minutes.

Notes

For added richness, consider stirring in cream cheese during the final heating phase. Reserve some cooking liquid before mashing in case the soup is too thick. Warm your bowls beforehand to prevent the soup from cooling too quickly.
