Toss raw diced potatoes in slow cooker with just 2 more ingredients. It turns into a bowl of cozy perfection.

There's nothing quite like a warm bowl of potato soup on a chilly Midwest evening. This 3-ingredient loaded potato soup is a lifesaver for those of us juggling work and home life. It's a recipe I stumbled upon during a particularly hectic week, and it quickly became a household favorite. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, it's perfect for busy professionals who crave comfort food without the fuss.

This soup pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or a slice of crusty bread for dipping. If you're feeling indulgent, serve it with a side of crispy bacon or a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top. A glass of chilled white wine or a warm cup of tea makes for a cozy meal experience.

Servings: 4

6 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream

Place the diced potatoes in the slow cooker.

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the potatoes are fully covered.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.

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

Stir in the heavy cream and let it heat through for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, green onions, or bacon bits.

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken broth with vegetable broth. If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. You can also add cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham for extra flavor. For a thicker soup, mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch with the cream before adding it to the slow cooker.
