Diced into 1/2 inch(ish) cubes 1 medium/large yellow onion diced 10 cloves of garlic minced 64 ounces 8 cups chicken stock or broth 16 oz cream cheese softened 1 tablespoon seasoned salt optional garnishes: crumbled bacon shredded cheese, green onions

Add potatoes, onion, garlic, seasoning, and chicken stock to slow cooker. Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10 hours. Add the softened cream cheese and puree soup with an immersion blender until the cheese is incorporated and about half the soup is blended.
