Method
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Chop the onion and the garlic. Put them in the slow cooker with the stock, the thyme, salt and pepper.
Cover and cook the slow cooker on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are very soft.
Mash the potatoes roughly with a potato masher right in the slow cooker, leaving some chunks. Stir in the milk and half of the cheddar, cover and leave for 15 minutes on HIGH.
Meanwhile, cut the bacon into strips and fry it in a dry pan over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, until crisp. Drain it on kitchen paper.
Serve the soup topped with the bacon, the rest of the cheddar, the sour cream and chopped chives.
