Crockpot Potato Soup

The most delicious thing ever. Okay, maybe not ever, but it's pretty freakin' tasty. And relatively easy. Minimal chopping and the only outside cooking is if you want bacon. And let's be real, we want the bacon. I don't have any of my own pictures for you so I have a couple I borrowed from other people. Plus, their pictures make it look more appetizing.

Ingredients
3 14 oz cans of chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup (reduced fat works fine)
half an onion, roughly chopped
30 oz bag of frozen hash browns
1 block of cream cheese (regular, nonfat doesn't melt well and won't incorporate)
2-3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (depending on how cheesy you like your soup)
Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients
Bacon
Shredded chicken
Green Onions
Sour cream dollop


So like I said, super simple.


Add broth and cream of chicken to the crock pot, whisk together so you don't end up with chunks of the cream of chicken. Add chopped onion and bag of hash browns.
Let it cook for 3-5 hours on high or 5-7 hours on low. It's going to look a little liquidy and runny but the cream cheese thickens it upThe last half hour add the cheddar and cream cheeses, I find the cream cheese melts better if you cut it into small cubes and stir it in.

Add whatever additional ingredients you want and serve! It's delicious on a cold with a side of French bread!
