Creamy Potato Soup

 

This recipe is so easy. I looked around on pinterest for some ideas. I looked in my freezer and pantry to see what I had and went from there. I didn't have potatoes at the house. and some recipes called for instant mashed potatoes.. didn't have that either. All I had was a large bag of shredded hash browns.

So I used them. Also many recipe called for onions, and as much as I LOVE them, my husband is home now.. and hates them...

Ingredients:

• Large bag frozen hash browns
• 1 large Chicken broth (the boxed one, or 2 16 oz cans)
• 1 can cream of chicken
• 1 tbs of onion powder
• 1 tsp or more of cracked black pepper
• 8oz of cream cheese

Directions:

Toss all in except cream cheese to crock pot. Cook on high for 4-5 hours.

Then I used a potato masher, to mash up potatoes, leaving some whole.

Stir it, and add cream cheese. Cook for 30 more minutes, stir occasionally. 

Serve with crusty bread, top with cheese, bacon, green onion, sour cream, or whatever else you like!
