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)

Instructions:

- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher or immersion blender to partially mash the potatoes, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, half-and-half (or heavy cream), sour cream, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
