Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine potatoes, chicken stock, onion, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High until potatoes are tender, about 4 hours.

02

Step

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and wipe out most of the grease from the skillet.

03

Step

Puree potatoes in the slow cooker with an immersion blender until smooth. Add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the cooked bacon, set temperature to Low, and cook for 1 to 2 hours.

04

Step

Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, sour cream, and garlic powder; whisk until thickened. Pour into the slow cooker and cook on Low for 1 more hour.

05

Step

Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon, remaining Cheddar, sour cream, and scallions.

For an extra smoky flavor, consider using smoked bacon.
If you prefer a thinner soup, add more chicken stock or heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.
To prevent the cheese from clumping, stir it in gradually and ensure the soup is not too hot.
This soup is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings such as chives, green onions, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

    The roux made the soup incredibly creamy. Definitely worth the extra step.

    I added a can of diced green chilies for a little extra flavor, and it was a hit!

    Very easy to follow!

  • Loma Kshlerin

    My kids are picky eaters, but they all loved this soup!

  • Clemens Effertz

    I didn't have heavy cream, so I used half-and-half instead. It was still delicious, just not quite as rich.

  • Kennith Gleichner

    This soup is amazing! So easy to make and the whole family loved it.

  • Geo Hickle

    I think next time I will add some carrots and celery for a more hearty soup.

  • Helene Turner

    My slow cooker runs hot, so the potatoes were done in about 3 hours. Keep an eye on them!

  • Christophe Hahn

    I have used the same recipe, but I like to use different types of cheeses!
