Crockpot Cream of Potato Soup


INGREDIENTS

1 (30 oz.) bag frozen hash-brown potatoes (I use the squared, southern style)

2 (14 oz.) cans chicken broth

1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup

1/2 C. chopped onion

1/3 tsp. ground black pepper

1 (8oz) package cream cheese (softened)


Garnish: minced green onion, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, etc.


DIRECTIONS

1. In a slow cooker, combine potatoes, broth, soup, onion, and pepper.

2. Cover, and cook on low for 5 hours.

3. Stir in cream cheese, cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until combined.

4. Garnish with green onion.


NOTES

1. I used full-fat cream cheese this time and next time I will use the 1/3 less fat cream cheese. It was plenty creamy.

2. I added approximately one cup chopped celery the last hour of cooking before putting the cream cheese in for the last half hour.

3. Next time I will only do 4 hours on low instead of the called for five, it does not need 5 hours (this is based off my specific Crockpot temp, yours may need the full 5).
