Slow Cooker Potato Soup with frozen hash browns, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, onion, and cream cheese
I’ve had this recipe pinned on my Food board on Pinterest for a while. I finally got around to making it last weekend, and it was surprisingly good! This might be the easiest dinner I’ve ever made. Actually, this was so easy to make that I let Chicken Legs make it! He was concerned that it was too thick, but I was more concerned that it would be bland. Well, it turned out that neither of us had anything to worry about. The mixture magically transformed into a wonderfully delicious bowl of soup. We both loved it. We topped the soup with some bacon bits, cheese and sour cream. I would have added green onions, but I didn’t have any. Next time!
Slow Cooker Potato Soup
ingredients:
-
1 (32-oz) bag frozen shredded hash browns
-
3 (14.5-oz) cans chicken broth
-
1 (10.75-oz) can cream of chicken soup (I used 98% fat free)
-
2 Tbsp minced onion flakes
-
1 tsp pepper
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese (I used light)
instructions:
- In a crockpot, combine everything except for the cream cheese. Cook for 8-10 hours on low.
- About 15 minutes before serving, add cream cheese. Stir until melted and thoroughly combined. Serve with cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, green onions.
I totally love this soup and was wondering if anyone has tried freezing it and what their results were.

This is my go-to potato soup recipe. I used half of a yellow onion diced, instead of onion flakes and added diced bacon (half into the soup and half for garnish) and some chopped chives, same way. I serve with cheese rolls and sour cream/chives/diced bacon as additional toppings.
It makes such a huge pot, I am going to try freezing half next time.

My son said it was the best soup I have ever made. I have to agree with him. It was probably the easiest soup I have ever made. I did use 4 cups of broth instead of 3 and I did add 1cup of Cheddar cheese with the cream cheese.
So I made this with a few tweaks and it was AMAZING!
I used cream of onion soup because cream of chicken bothers me 😉 and I omitted the onion flakes. It was a huge hit!!! Absolutely delicious!!!
Do you think you could make this on the stove? And if so how would I adjust it? Sounds so good, but I'd need to make large batches for an event and several hours makes it difficult.
This looks so good…so good in fact that I tried it for a potluck dinner on a windy, rainy day, that was supposed to be bbq worthy day and it was a hit. So scrumptious, and an awesome tummy warmer. I was also thinking that with dehydrated hashbrowns this would make a fantastic pantry meal for when the power goes out. I'll give it a try and post how it goes.
My daughter made this and her fiancé ate almost the whole crockpot full by himself! Now I need to try it, thanks for sharing

That does sound easy!
Very good!! We had it last night for dinner! It's a keeper for us!!!
Thanks!
This is an easy way to make a potato soup….hashbrowns…nevah woulda thunk it.
I too got this recipe from Pinterest and have made it quite a few times now. EVERYONE who tries it absolutely loves it! Soo simple!! Thanks for posting for others to enjoy it too!! 🙂
Joyce, I'm sure adding chicken or even ground beef/turkey would also be terrific!
No way. Potato soup with bacon on top?! I'M IN! I think I could make this and add some chicken to it and it would be delish as well… what do you think?
