Equipment

Ingredients

2½ pounds russet potatoes washed and cubed
1½ cups onion chopped
4½ cups low sodium chicken broth
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
8 ounces cream cheese cubed
½ cup half and half
2 tablespoons butter

Toppings

Cooked bacon crumbles
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Sliced green onion

Instructions

Add the potatoes, onion, chicken broth, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, and Dijon mustard to a 6 quart slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender.
Use a potato masher directly in the slow cooker to mash to your desired consistency. Leave it slightly chunky for texture or mash more for a smoother soup.
Stir in the cream cheese, half and half, and butter. Turn to high and cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is melted and creamy.
Taste and adjust salt if needed. Don’t skip this step. Potatoes almost always need a little more.
Serve topped with bacon, shredded cheddar, and green onion.
