Steps

1
Add two bags of diced potatoes with onion to the slow cooker.
2
Pour in about 2 cups of chicken broth and add the garlic.
3
Add 3/4 cup of cream of onion soup powdered mix along with 1 1/2 cups of water; it will thicken as it cooks.
4
Season with extra onion powder and fresh cracked black pepper.
5
Stir until everything is well combined, cover, and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours, until the potatoes are mushy.
6
Blend with an immersion blender (or in a blender), leaving some chunks rather than blending smooth.
7
Stir in about 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 cups of broccoli florets, and 8 ounces of cheddar cheese.
8
If the soup is too thick, add more chicken broth about a cup at a time until it reaches a soup-like consistency.
9
Cover and cook another hour, until the broccoli is slightly mushy.
10
Taste, then serve topped with sour cream and shredded cheese.

Creator's notes

Any cream soup works — the creator usually uses cream of onion and makes it from scratch with a homemade powdered mix. Cook time is 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low before blending, plus about another hour after adding the broccoli and cheese.
