2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: cooked bacon or sausage for garnish
Start by peeling and chopping the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-5 minutes). Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, or until fragrant.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the slow cooker. Add the chopped potatoes, broth, thyme, and seasoning. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The potatoes should be tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once the soup is cooked, stir in the heavy cream (or desired substitute) for added creaminess. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crispy bacon or sausage if desired. Enjoy warm with crusty bread for a complete meal!
