    How to make it

    This cheesy potato soup recipe with hash browns can just as easily be made in your slow cooker or on the stove top. The only difference is how long it will take to cook.

    Add the frozen hash browns to a large pot, along with the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, chopped onion, butter, black pepper, and garlic powder. Bring the soup to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes or until the potatoes have softened.

    Slow cooker: If using a slow cooker, cook for three hours on high heat.

    Place sour cream in a separate bowl, and mix in spoonfuls of hot soup to temper the sour cream. Once the sour cream is warm, it can be added to the soup without curdling.

    Finally, add shredded cheese, salt to taste, and green onions. Stir to combine until the cheese has melted. Serve this creamy potato soup with your favorite toppings and crusty bread for dipping.

    Equipment

    • Large pot (or slow cooker)

    Ingredients

    • 30 ounces frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
    • 10.5 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
    • 4 cups chicken broth
    • ½ yellow onion chopped
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
    • 2 stalks green onions chopped

    Instructions

    • Add shredded potatoes, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion, butter, garlic powder, and black pepper to a large pot or slow cooker. Let simmer until hash browns are completely tender - approximately 30 minutes on the stovetop or 3 hours on high heat in a slow cooker.
    • Temper the sour cream to prevent curdling by adding hot soup to it in a separate bowl, a spoonful at a time until the mixture is warm.
    • Once the sour cream is warm, add it to the soup along with shredded cheese, salt, and green onions. Stir until the cheese has completely melted into the soup, then serve immediately.

    Notes

    If you want a creamier soup, you can puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth once the potatoes have softened.
