Instructions
- Cook bacon until crispy over medium-high heat. Remove from the pan reserving fat. Add onion to the reserved bacon fat and cook until it begins to soften.
- Add potatoes, garlic, thyme leaves, onion, salt to taste, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Add chicken broth and stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours (or 6-8 hours on low) or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once softened, use an immersion blender to blend about half of the soup and slightly mash the remaining potatoes. The more you mash, the thicker the soup will be.
- Combine cream and cornstarch. Add to the slow cooker along with cheese, sour cream, and half of the bacon.
- Place the lid back on the slow cooker and let the soup warm through on high, about 15-20 minutes or until thickened.
- Serve the soup topped with additional sour cream, cheese, green onions, and remaining bacon.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, mash more of the potatoes.
- If you do not have an immersion blender, some of the potatoes/broth can be blended in a blender. Be sure not to seal the lid to allow steam to escape.
- Heavy cream can be replaced with evaporated milk. Ham can be added in place of bacon in this recipe.
- This makes six 1-cup servings.
