• Prep work: Peel and dice potatoes. Chop onion.
• Add both to slow cooker and cover with broth. Add in salt and pepper. Stir everything together.
• Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or 6 - 8 hours on low heat until potatoes are tender.

During last hour of cook time:

• This step is optional - If you'd like less chunks of potatoes and a little smoother soup, use your immersion blender or potato masher to bring soup base to desired texture.
• Measure out milk and add in flour. Whisk them together well.
• Pour mixture into crockpot. Add in cream, chopped bacon, bacon grease, and grated cheese. Stir well and cook on low heat for the last hour.
• Cool slightly and ladle this delicious potato soup into individual bowls for your whole family to enjoy!
