Ingredients:
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup half-and-half (or heavy cream for a richer soup)

- Continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
