Slow Cooker Potato Soup

Yesterday was a snow day.  No school means a house full of hungry teenagers.  Warm potato soup to the rescue.  All of my family loves soup, especially potato soup.

 

I whip this up in my slow cooker all the time (and sometimes, I'll brown one pound of sausage up first and put that in too...sausage always makes a good addition to potato soup!).   

 

 

Slow Cooker Potato Soup

 

Ingredients:

1 (30 oz) bag of frozen, diced hash browns

3 to 4 cups milk

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1/2 to 3/4 cup instant potatoes 

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup butter (not margarine)

1/2 tsp minced garlic

1/2 onion, chopped

A little salt and pepper

 

In your slow cooker add hash browns, milk, soup, garlic, butter,  onion and a pinch of S&P.  Cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours.  About an hour before serving, add in your cheddar cheese, cover soup back up and keep heating.

Give the soup one big stir before ladling it into bowls and garnishing.

Such a yummy potato soup!
