Instructions

In a crockpot, combine onion, potatoes, garlic, and broth. Cook on higher for 3-4 hours or low for about 6 hours.

About 20 minutes before you’re ready to serve the soup, make your flour mixture. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Stir in the milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional couple of minutes until the sauce has thickened considerably.

Pour the sauce, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salt and pepper into the slow cooker and stir to combine.

Using an immersion blender (or regular blender if needed), puree about ⅓ of the soup (or more if desired).

Top with your favorite potato fixings and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Potatoes Uniformly 🥔
Dice potatoes into consistent 1/2-inch cubes so they cook evenly and break down at the same rate, creating a naturally thicker soup without lumps.
Make a Proper Roux Base 🧈
Create a butter and flour paste before adding to the crockpot to eliminate lumps and build a silky foundation that thickens the broth perfectly.
Toast Your Aromatics First ✨
Sauté the onions and garlic in butter for 3-4 minutes before adding to the crockpot to deepen their flavor and add a sweet, caramelized complexity to the soup.
Temper Your Dairy Additions 🥛
Add sour cream and milk in the last 30 minutes of cooking and stir constantly to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
Season in Layers 🧂
Add salt and pepper at the start, mid-cook, and finish to develop complex seasoning that balances the richness without tasting one-dimensional.
