Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and cubing the potatoes, slicing the carrot, chopping the onion and celery, and mincing the garlic. Slice and sauté the Andouille sausages until they are lightly browned.
Combine in Slow Cooker: Place the potatoes, carrot, browned sausages, onion, garlic, celery, and garlic salt into the slow cooker. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
Cook: Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with the cold milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker. Add the grated Cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and the soup has thickened. Season with onion powder and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve Warm: Once the soup is thickened and heated through, give it a final taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with additional grated cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
