  • 3½ cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 1 rib celery (diced)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)

  • 1 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 6 slices thick cut bacon

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2½ cups heavy cream
  • 2½ cups cheddar cheese (grated and divided into 2 cups and ½ cup)

  3. Assemble in the Crockpot: Add the cubed potatoes, carrots, onion, and celery into a 6-quart Crockpot.
  4. Sprinkle in the seasoning: Add chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic, parsley, thyme, and pour in chicken broth.
