1 large onion, chopped
3 (14-oz) cans chicken broth
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 teaspoons salt

2. Cover and cook on HIGH 4 hours or on LOW 8 hours.
3. Mash mixture until potatoes are coarsely chopped and soup is slightly thickened; stir in cream, cheese, and chives. Top with sour cream and sprinkle with bacon and cheese.
For a better soup experience, get a bread bowl from McAlister's Deli or put it in a bowl and eat it with cheese muffins.
