Step 1: Sauté Bacon and Aromatics
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Prep the Slow Cooker
- Transfer the cooked bacon, onions, and garlic into your slow cooker.
- Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup to your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for texture.
Step 4: Add Creaminess
