2. Cook:
• Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
3. Blend (optional):
• For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to blend some of the potatoes directly in the pot. Leave some chunks for texture, if desired.

• Stir in cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and bacon. Mix until everything is melted and combined.
5. Serve:
• Ladle into bowls and top with extra bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions if desired.

• Swap cream cheese with heavy cream for a lighter version.
• Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
