Place the diced potatoes, onion, minced garlic, carrots, celery, chicken or vegetable broth, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper into the crockpot.
Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return to the crockpot.
Stir in the almond milk or low-fat milk and the Greek yogurt until well combined. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on low to heat through.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions if desired.

For a chunkier soup, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest with potato chunks.
