Add potatoes, onion, garlic, spices and stock in the the slow cooker; stir to combine. Cover; cook on High, about 3-4 hours for the potatoes to soften, or on Low for 8-10 hours.
When potatoes are just barely soft enough to slide off of a fork, scoop out about 1/2 c. of the broth; set aside. Mash cooked potatoes gently, just to break up the bigger pieces and slightly thicken the soup.
Whisk 1/4 c. flour into the reserved broth until smooth. Stir in 1 c. half and half (or heavy cream); whisk until smooth. Pour into the slow cooker; reduce heat to Low. Cook at least 1 hour, stirring once or twice. When soup has thickened and warm, it's ready.
Serve with toppings of choice.
