Послідовність приготування
In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the chicken stock, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are well blended. Add the chopped potatoes and onion to the mixture.
Set the slow cooker to cook for 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH, depending on your schedule. The potatoes should be tender by the end of this cooking time.
**Slow Cooker Tip:** For optimal results, try not to lift the lid during the cooking process, as this can let out heat and extend the cooking time.
Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher to slightly mash the potatoes inside the slow cooker, adjusting the texture to your preference. Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, and 1 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese. Cover and set the slow cooker to HIGH for an additional 15 minutes or until the soup reaches your desired thickness. Before serving, top the soup with the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
If preferred, you can substitute the Yukon gold potatoes with 1 package (32 ounces) of frozen diced hash brown potatoes. Prepare the soup following the same directions.
