Use shredded hash browns instead of whole potatoes to make this delicious soup. It makes it much easier to make, but tastes just as good.
30 oz. bag frozen, shredded hash browns
3 - 14 oz. cans chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/4 t. ground pepper
1 pkg. cream cheese (DON'T use fat-free because it will not melt)
Line a crockpot with a crockpot liner for easy clean up.
In the crock, combine first five ingredients. Cook 6-8 hours on Low heat.
1 hour before serving, add the cream cheese; keep on Low until thoroughly melted.
Serve with shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, or chopped green onions, if desired.
Serves 4-5
