Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cube the russet or Yukon gold potatoes and place in a large bowl.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the cooked bacon, diced onion, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Transfer the mixture into your crockpot and cover. Set it on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
  4. Once the cooking time is up and the potatoes are soft, use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the mixture to your desired consistency.
  5. Add the unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, whole milk, and shredded cheddar cheese into the crockpot. Stir well and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions and optional toppings like crispy bacon or sour cream.
