Smashed Potato Soup

Smashed Potato Soup

3-1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-in. cubes
1/2 cup chopped yellow and/or red sweet pepper
1-1/2 tsp. bottled roasted garlic
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
4-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping cream, half-and-half or light cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
Sour cream (optional)
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Crisp-cooked bacon, crumbed (optional)
Sliced green onion (optional)

In a 4 to 5 quart slow cooker combine potatoes, swet pepper, garlic and black pepper. Pour broth over all. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours or on high heat for 4 to 5 hours.

Mash potatoes slightly with a potato masher. Stir in whipping cream, 1 cup cheddar cheese and the 1/2 cup green onions.

If desired, top servings with sour cream, additional cheese, bacon and additional onions. Makes 6 main-dish servings.

Looks great! Did the kid's like it also, and was it spicy?
I like the idea of it being made in the Crock Pot. Oh, was it filling for a man or would a salad or type of bread need to be added?

Nope, not spicy. Tim had two bowls and said he was full, but you could easily do a salad or bread with it.
