Slow cooker potato soup with cream cheese is an irresistibly creamy, hearty, and satisfying dish perfect for comforting any cold day. The key to creating an exceptional potato soup lies in using good quality ingredients and letting the flavors develop with time. Potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots are the backbone of this soup, providing a robust base for the creamy broth. The addition of cream cheese gives the soup its signature velvety texture and richness, making it an indulgent and delightful treat. The infusion of herbs and spices adds layers of flavor, and the finishing touch of crispy bacon or crumbled cheese adds a smoky, savory element that takes the soup to the next level.

Steps:
- Line your crock pot with a liner. Add the chicken {or vegetable} stock and potatoes to the crock pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
- 30 minutes before serving, add cubed cream cheese, heavy cream {or milk}, instant mashed potatoes, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Continue stirring off and on for the remainder of the cooking time to be sure that the cream cheese is melting into the soup and everything is warm.
- When ready, serve with desired toppings. We love shredded cheese, chopped bacon, sliced green onions and sour cream but there are so many wonderful things you can use. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

PANERA'S CREAM CHEESE POTATO SOUP
This is my favorite recipe for potato soup. It's a copycat of the one they use to serve at the St. Louis Bread Company (Panera). The recipe originally called for shredding your potatoes, but I never could get them to cook that way. I know they should cook faster, but I never could get it to work.

Steps:
- Cut potatoes into quarters. Cut sweet onion into eighths. Transfer both to a large stockpot.
- Place the stockpot over medium-high heat and add water, chicken broth, green onions, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, hot pepper sauce, 1 teaspoon white pepper, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
- While the soup is cooling, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop into bits when cooled. Reserve bacon grease.
- Remove 4 cups potato stock and set aside. Working in batches, puree some potatoes and onions in a food processor with some of the liquid; transfer to a slow cooker. Repeat until all potatoes and onions have been pureed. Turn the slow cooker to High.
- Transfer the reserved potato stock to a separate pot and place over medium-low heat until warm, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in sour cream until no lumps remain.
- Combine reserved bacon grease and butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook until butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour and stir to make a roux. Increase heat to high and slowly add potato stock-sour cream mixture. Whisk to prevent lumping and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce to a slow simmer and cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour into the slow cooker and add the reserved bacon.
- Cook on High for 1 hour. Stir in cream cheese until melted. Reduce heat to Low and cook for 2 hours. Season with salt and pepper if needed.

Tips:
- For a creamy and flavorful soup, use high-quality cream cheese. Look for a brand that is smooth and spreadable, and avoid using whipped cream cheese, as it will not melt as well.
- Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for a fluffy and flavorful soup. These potatoes hold their shape well and will not become mushy when cooked.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this soup on the stovetop. Simply bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a large pot, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
