Crockpot Cheesy Potato Soup
Description
This soup starts by layering peeled and diced Yukon gold potatoes alongside chopped sweet onion, minced garlic, diced celery, fresh parsley, thyme, mustard powder, butter, and chicken broth in a slow cooker. After seasoning with salt and pepper, the ingredients cook for several hours until tender.
Shortly before serving, a mixture of cornstarch and cream is added to thicken the soup, along with sour cream. The soup’s texture can be made creamier by partially pureeing or mashing some of the cooked potatoes. Finally, sharp cheddar cheese is stirred in until fully melted, adding depth and richness to the broth.
The soup is served warm with optional toppings such as extra sour cream, chopped chives, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and green onions. It works well as a satisfying main course or cozy starter during cooler weather.
