  • 2-3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken or Mushroom Soup undiluted
  • 1 cup Milk whole milk or 2% for richness
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup Butter (4 tbsp), melted
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper or to taste
Garnishes (Optional)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cooked and crumbled bacon
  • Sliced green onions
  • Fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Slow cooker (6-quart or larger)
  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Potato masher or immersion blender

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, then chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Cooking
  1. Place the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic into your slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the broth and cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup, add salt and pepper, then stir gently.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until potatoes are fork-tender.
Thickening & Finishing
  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan, then whisk in flour for 1-2 minutes until a thick roux forms.
  2. Gradually whisk milk into the roux until smooth, then cook and stir until slightly thickened.
  3. Pour the thickened milk into the slow cooker, add sour cream, and stir well.
  4. Mash about half of the potatoes directly in the slow cooker to your desired consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve hot with your preferred garnishes.

Notes

For an extra creamy soup, use full-fat milk and sour cream. Adjust mashing to achieve your preferred potato consistency, from chunky to smooth. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
