March Comfort Potato Soup

Instructions

1. The Base: Add the diced potatoes, diced onion, and chicken broth to your slow cooker. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or High for 4 hours, until the potatoes are completely tender.

3. Mash: For a creamier texture, use a potato masher or a large fork to mash about half of the potatoes directly in the pot. This thickens the soup naturally.

4. The Creamy Finish: Stir in the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Cover and let it sit for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the soup is silky.

5. Serve: Stir well to incorporate everything. Top with green onions or extra cheese as shown in your photo.

A Quick Tip

If you want an even richer finish, you can swap 1 cup of the broth for heavy cream in the final 30 minutes of cooking.
