Step 1: Assemble the Soup Base

  1. In your crock pot, combine the diced potatoes, onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Stir to mix everything evenly.

Step 2: Cook in the Crock Pot

  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3: Blend for Creaminess

  1. Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher or immersion blender to slightly mash the soup for a thicker texture. Leave some chunks for a hearty consistency.

Step 4: Add the Creaminess

  2. Serve with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
