Ingredients
  

6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for a dairy-free version)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes, about 1-inch in size. This helps them cook evenly and blend smoothly later.

    Combine Ingredients: In your slow cooker, add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

      Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.

        Mash for Creaminess: Once cooked, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. For a smoother soup, you can also use an immersion blender to blend it slightly.

          Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, and if using, add the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well and let it warm for an additional 20-30 minutes.

            Final Taste Adjustments: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

              Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the soup in rustic bowls and sprinkle with additional cheese and herbs for a vibrant look. A side of crusty bread makes the meal complete!
