  2. Set your crockpot to cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours until potatoes are tender.
  3. Once cooking time is complete, use a potato masher to lightly mash the potatoes to your desired consistency, or use an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
  4. Stir in the butter, flour, and whole milk, then incorporate the shredded cheese and sour cream into the mixture, blending until smooth. Let cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve and enjoy!

For best results, use freshly grated cheese and taste before adjusting salt due to the bacon's saltiness. Customize with additional vegetables if desired.
