Description
A creamy and comforting potato soup that brings warmth and nostalgia with every spoonful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In your slow cooker, mix the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and chicken broth. Ensure the potatoes are submerged for uniform cooking.
- Cook: Set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. You want the potatoes tender enough to mash.
- Add creaminess: Once the potatoes are fork-tender, stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, and butter.
- Mash a bit: Using a potato masher, gently mash for a creamy consistency while leaving some chunks for added texture.
- Season: Taste your creation and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with chives for a touch of elegance.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the soup a day in advance for deeper flavors. Customize with toppings like bacon or cheese.
