Cheesy Potato Soup (in Slow Cooker)

By Vera
I found a book of 365 Easy Slow Cooker Recipes for $4.00 a couple weeks ago, so I will be posting from that book on occasion!

6 medium potatoes
1 onion, very finely chopped
2 (14 oz.) cans chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (8 oz.) package shredded American cheese
1 cup half-and-half cream

Combine potatoes, onion, chicken broth and pepper in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Mash potatoes in slow cooker
About 1 hour before serving, stir in cheese and cream and cook an additional 1 hour.
Serves 4-6.
