Ingredients
Method
- Slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Reserve the greens for topping.
- Add the frozen hash browns, white parts of the green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker.
- Pour in the cream of chicken soup and stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Add the chicken stock, then cover and cook on Low for 6 hours (or High for 3-4 hours).
- About 10-15 minutes before cooking is done, stir in the cubed cream cheese. Cover again and let it melt into the soup.
- Use a potato masher to lightly mash some of the potatoes, thickening the soup to your desired consistency.
- Ladle into bowls and top with reserved green onion tops, shredded cheese, and bacon bits, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Pro tip: Keep a batch of cooked bacon in the freezer for quick toppings anytime. It’s perfect for turning this into a comforting loaded hash brown soup with bacon!
