Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup

Simple, filling, and delicious: this has become the favorite winter soup in this home!  This soup travels well in a thermos, highly recommended for a winter picnic!

Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup
Ingredients:
6 large potatoes, peeled and cubed and rinsed with cold water
1 large onion, diced
4 cups chicken broth (that's one quart)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup butter 
Salt & Pepper to taste
---
1 cup half & half
1cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add all ingredients except cheese half & half, and cook on low for 8 hours.  
After 8 hours, turn to warm and mash the potatoes.  Add the cheese and half & half.  I used a hand blender to get the soup smooth and creamy.

Garnish with freshly cooked bacon, chopped green onions, sour cream and cheese.
