Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup

In the winter I love soups! They are generally very hearty & just warm you to the bone.
Sometimes though, soups can be a pain to make on week nights with all that we have going on.
This soup is so super easy, & everyone in the entire family loves it & wants seconds!



This recipe is so super creamy & cheesy! Just so delicious! & you can do it all in your crock pot!



Lets get to the recipe!

What you need:
- 6 Large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 cup of diced, onion
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 4-6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cold milk
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 block of velvetta cheese
Optional:
 - Bacon bits
- green onion

Directions:
1. Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper & chicken broth to your crock pot. Stir it all together & cook on high for 3.5 hours, until the potatoes are cooked & fork tender.


2. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour into the cold milk until smooth, then add that into potatoes.

3. Add in the heavy whipping cream, stir then cover and cook for another 30 minutes. Add in the chucks of cheese & allow it all to melt.

4. Ladle into bowls, & garnish with bacon & green onion. I already think it is pretty cheesy, but my girls even add a little pinch of sharp cheddar on top too.


5. ENJOY!
