1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (reserve some for topping)
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Prepare the potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Chop the onion and garlic: Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients in the Crock Pot
Layer the ingredients: In your Crock Pot, add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, and spices (parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper).
Mix in the cream cheese: Cut the softened cream cheese into chunks and add it to the pot.
Step 3: Cook the Soup
Set the Crock Pot: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Step 4: Blend and Add Cheese
Blend the soup (optional): For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup. You can also transfer a portion to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the Crock Pot.
Add the cheese and bacon: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. If you want extra creaminess, add the heavy cream. Let it cook for another 15-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
