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 shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon 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

For extra creaminess, blend part of the soup before adding the cheese and bacon. Optional toppings include sour cream or chives.
