Notes

For the slow cooker version: Complete steps 1 through 3 on the stovetop, then transfer everything to the slow cooker. Add the broth and milk, then cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. Stir in sour cream and cheese before serving. For the pressure cooker version, use the sauté function for steps 1 to 3, then cook on high pressure for 10 minutes with a quick release. Finish with sour cream and cheese.
