Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes, dice the onion, and gather all your ingredients.
- Combine in the Crock Pot: Place the diced potatoes, onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper into the crock pot. Stir to combine.
- Cook the Soup: Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are soft and tender.
- Add the Creaminess: Use a potato masher or immersion blender to lightly mash some of the potatoes in the soup to thicken the consistency. Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
- Add the Bacon: Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon and allow the soup to warm through for 10 minutes.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions and extra cheese if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, feel free to add more bacon or cheese.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the soup completely after mashing the potatoes.
- Garnish with extra green onions, sour cream, or crispy bacon for extra flavor.
