Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 bag frozen hash browns about 30 oz
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Final Additions
  • 8 oz cream cheese cubed and softened
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 green onions sliced for garnish

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Add frozen hash browns, chicken broth, garlic, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the potatoes are tender.
  3. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  4. In a separate skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Stir half into the soup and reserve the rest for topping.
  5. Serve hot, topped with remaining bacon, green onions, and extra cheese if desired.

Notes

Make it spicy by adding jalapeños or chili flakes. For a loaded version, stir in sour cream and extra cheese. Use turkey bacon or veggie broth to make it lighter or vegetarian.
