3. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the lid on and turn the crockpot to HIGH. Cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours, or until the potatoes are soft. (If you want to use the LOW setting, cook for 8-9 hours.)

 

 

 
4. Once potatoes are soft, use a potato masher to smash the potatoes. Smash them until you have a slightly chunky texture.

 

 
5. Pour in the whipping cream, stirring well.

I have everything in the crockpot ready to go. However, when do I add the 1/2 stick of butter? I don't see it anywhere in the recipe.

I make soup for my grandson every month. This is one of three that he always requests. It is hands down the best I have ever made.
