Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into 1/2 inch chunks.
Place the diced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker and add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and butter.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
If you cooked your soup on low, now turn the crockpot heat up to high.
In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and water, then whisk into the soup.
Cover the crockpot and allow the soup to cook for another 15-20 minutes until thickened.
Add the sour cream to a bowl and then add a few Tablespoons of liquid from the soup to the sour cream and stir until smooth.
Turn the crockpot off and stir in the sour cream mixture, cream cheese and cheddar cheese until smooth.
Notes
NOTE: I highly recommend using freshly shredded cheese for best results.
