Potato Soup Delight (Print)

Creamy soup made fast with hash browns, finished with cheese and bacon. No potato peeling, ready in one pot in 30 minutes.

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cans (14.5 oz each) low-sodium chicken broth.
02 - 32 ounces of frozen potato hash brown cubes.
03 - 10.5 ounces of chicken soup, creamy style.
04 - 1 small yellow onion, chopped finely.
05 - 6 tablespoons of salted butter.
06 - 1½ cups of medium cheddar cheese, shredded fresh.
07 - 1 cup of sour cream.
08 - ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.
09 - ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper.
10 - More cheese for sprinkling on top.
11 - Chopped green onions as garnish.
12 - Crumbled bacon as topping.
13 - Extra dollop of sour cream for serving.

# Steps:

01 - Toss the hash browns, chicken broth, creamy soup, chopped onion, and butter into a big pot. Heat over medium flame.
02 - Stir frequently and let everything simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Cover the pot to speed things up if you’d like.
03 - Stir in the shredded cheddar, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Heat until the cheese is melted and smooth.
04 - Scoop into bowls. Add a sprinkle of cheese, green onions, crumbled bacon, and a little sour cream on top to finish.

# Notes:

01 - Grate your own cheese for smoother melting.
02 - Keep an eye on the heat and stir to avoid sticking.
03 - For thicker soup, simmer longer. Or thin it out with a little extra broth.
