Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup

I blended instead of mashing the potatoes because I wanted it super smooth, but it needed way more milk to thin it out than what was in the recipe. I also made 4 servings but they were pretty small so would have been better as 3.

Added bacon fat for flavor and full carton of chicken broth. Cook extra bacon for topping.

Add extra garlic and onion powder to taste
