Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 cups potatoes, diced (any type you prefer)
  • 1 onion chopped onion
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works great!)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
  • green onions chopped
  • sour cream optional topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and dicing the potatoes into small, even pieces for uniform cooking.
  2. Chop the onion finely so it blends well with the other ingredients.
Cooking
  1. In your crockpot, add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and pour in the chicken broth. Stir the mixture gently.
  2. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, adjusting to your preference.
  3. Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it on low heat. Let it cook for about 6-8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Once the cooking time is up, use a potato masher to break down some of the potatoes to achieve a creamy consistency.
  5. Pour in the milk and add the shredded cheese, stirring well. Let it cook for another 30 minutes.
  6. Give it a final taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days in the fridge. This soup freezes well; allow it to cool completely before freezing. Reheat gently over low heat on the stove or in the microwave.
