Servings: 6

6 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream

Place the diced potatoes in the slow cooker.

Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes, ensuring they are fully covered.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.

Once cooked, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.

Stir in the cheddar cheese and sour cream until well combined and the cheese is melted.

Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions if desired.

For a heartier soup, add cooked bacon bits or diced ham. If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the soup before serving. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. You can also add some chopped chives or green onions for a fresh pop of flavor. For those who like a bit of spice, a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick.
