Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 32 ounce frozen diced hash browns (sometimes called "southern" hash browns)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups homemade cream of chicken soup (or 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese such as Colby Jack or Cheddar
  • optional toppings, as desired: shredded cheese, crumbled bacon bits, chives, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Add frozen hash browns to the slow cooker, followed by chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Give everything a good stir to combine.
  • In a small blender, combine cream cheese and milk. Blend until smooth, then pour into the slow cooker. (Alternatively, you can cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add them directly to the slow cooker, along with the milk).
  • Add the black pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and turn it on low. Cook for 5-6 hours, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove lid and add shredded cheese to the soup. Stir until cheese has melted into the soup. Turn the slow cooker off, then let the soup sit for about 15 minutes to thicken slightly. Serve hot, with toppings of choice, and enjoy.

Notes

  • I like to use homemade cream of chicken soup, but you can substitute a can of condensed cream of chicken soup if you prefer.
  • If you have a couple of minutes to grate your own cheese, it will melt much better than store-bought shreds.
  • Leftover soup should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
