  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine potatoes, chicken broth, onion, butter, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker (such as Crock Pot®). Cook on High until soup flavors meld and potatoes are extremely soft, 4 to 5 hours.

  3. 3

    Mash the soup in the slow cooker using a potato masher to your desired consistency. Garnish with additional Cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chives.
