For an extra smoky flavor, consider using smoked bacon. If you prefer a thinner soup, add more chicken stock or heavy cream to reach your desired consistency. To prevent the cheese from clumping, stir it in gradually and ensure the soup is not too hot. This soup is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Feel free to experiment with other toppings such as chives, green onions, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

StepCombine potatoes, chicken stock, onion, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High until potatoes are tender, about 4 hours.

Jul 6, 2024I didn't have heavy cream, so I used half-and-half instead. It was still delicious, just not quite as rich.
