Ingredients:
– 6 medium potatoes peeled and diced
– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 cup vegetable broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup cooked and crumbled turkey sausage or plant-based crumbles
– 1 medium onion chopped
– 2 cloves garlic minced
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: sliced green onions, shredded cheese, and sour cream
Instructions:
1. Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes into small cubes. You want them to cook evenly in the slow cooker.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the chopped onion until its translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic into the base of your slow cooker.
4. Add the diced potatoes on top of the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, heavy cream, and add the crumbled turkey sausage or plant-based crumbles.
5. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine.
6. Cover your slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
7. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully mash some of the potatoes right in the slow cooker for a thicker texture.
8. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until its melted and well incorporated, creating a luscious, creamy finish.
9. Taste your soup and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings like sliced green onions, extra cheese, and sour cream.
