Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes, onion, chicken broth, bacon, salt and pepper to the slow cooker. Set it on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours. 
  • In the last 10 minutes of the slow cooker’s cooking time, melt the butter in a saucepan on the stovetop at medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes to cook off the floury taste. 
  • Add the heavy cream to the pan and stir almost continuously until the mixture has thickened and would coat a spoon. Add milk or water to thin if needed. Add the sour cream and stir to combine, remove from heat. 
  • Add the roux from the saucepan into the slow cooker and stir to combine. 
  • Using an immersion blender or working in batches in an upright blender, blend the soup till partly smooth. You can make it totally smooth if you prefer.
  • Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Top with shredded cheese, bacon, and scallions when serving. Enjoy!
