  • In a 4-6 quart slow cooker, combine the potatoes, chicken broth, carrots, onion, celery, cream of chicken, parsley, cajun seasoning, black pepper, minced garlic and salt.
  • Cook on high 8 hours, or on low 4-5 hours or until the potatoes are all tender.
  • An hour or so before this pot of yumminess is done, add in the cream cheese.

  • Set it to the side with the cheddar and use them as toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

You can also make this on the stovetop in a dutch oven, which will cut your cooking time down to an hour or so.
