Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky for texture. (Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the crock pot.)

Step 3: Add the Cheese and Cream

Stir in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, heavy cream, and sour cream. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy …
