Prepare the Base: Add the chopped potatoes, minced garlic, and fresh herbs to your slow cooker. Pour in enough broth to cover the ingredients.
4 large Chopped Potato, 1 large Garlic clove, 2 small Celery leaves, 2 sprigs Parsley, 2 sprigs Thyme, 4 cup Broth or stock
Cook: Slow cook on low for 5 to 8 hours or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the herb stalks.
Make the Roux: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stir in the flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk to create a smooth, creamy roux.
Combine: Pour the roux into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Add Cheese: Stir in the Parmesan and Cheddar cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
½ cup Parmesan, ½ cup Cheddar cheese, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Pepper
Blend: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or leave some chunks if you prefer a textured soup.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as crispy bacon, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream. I served with cheese croutons.
