  • 6 cups diced russet potatoes about 3 large
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese cubed

  • 1 tsp salt

  1. Put potatoes, onion, garlic, broth, butter, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker. Stir once to combine.
  2. Cover and cook on low 6–7 hours or high 3–4 hours until potatoes are very tender.
  3. Mash about half the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher for a thicker soup texture.
