Wash the potatoes, peel them, and chop them into small pieces.

Chop one onion finely.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker.

Add about 2 tablespoons of butter to the slow cooker.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.

After cooking, stir the soup and check that the potatoes are tender.

Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth.

Add 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese and 125 grams of room temperature Philadelphia style cream cheese to the blended soup.

Stir well and reduce the slow cooker to low, covering it to cook for another half hour.

After half an hour, serve the soup topped with more grated cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped spring onions.
