Ingredients
  

  • 32 oz frozen hash browns diced or shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth low sodium, if preferred
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened and cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup bacon cooked and crumbled or bacon bits

Instructions
 

  • Place the frozen hash browns into the slow cooker.
  • Pour in the chicken broth.
  • Add the cubed cream cheese on top.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the soup is creamy.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Stir well to combine and let the cheese melt.
  • Give the soup a final stir and serve hot with optional toppings like extra cheese, bacon, or chopped green onions.

Notes

This soup is wonderful with crusty bread for dipping. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for a couple of days and make an easy lunch.
