Ingredients
Scale
- 5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half

- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are very tender.

Notes
For a richer flavor, try using bone broth instead of chicken broth. You can also add cooked ham or sausage for extra protein.
