Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb white potatoes, scrubbed & sliced into 1/4" rounds
1 large onion, sliced thin
1 tsp salt
6 c chicken broth
4-6 clove garlic, to taste
1 c heavy cream or half & half

Steps:

  • 1. Place the sliced potatoes, onion, salt chicken broth and garlic into the crock of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
  • 2. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Near the end of cooking time, test the potatoes by pricking with a fork. They should easily break and fall apart.
  • 3. Remove lid and puree the soup with a hand held stick blender, in a food processor or blender. Puree in small batches to avoid hot splashes of soup.
  • 4. Return the soup to the crock and add the heavy cream. IMPORTANT - HEAT CAREFULLY; DON'T LET IT COME TO A BOIL.
  • 5. Serve hot with your choice of toppings. Shredded cheddar cheese and bacon makes a fantastic dish that tastes like your favorite baked potato with toppings!
