- 10 slices bacon divded after cooked
- 64 oz frozen hashbrown cubes
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 10 oz cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp seasoning salt

- 4 cups cheddar cheese shredded and divided
- 8 oz cream cheese softened and cut into cubes
- 1 cup heavy cream
Optional Topping

Begin by cooking bacon on the stovetop, or using my quick Air Fryer Bacon recipe, then crumble and set aside.
Into the bottom of a Crockpot, pour in frozen hash browns, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Next, pour in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and ¾ of the crumbled bacon. Reserve the rest for later.
Stir the ingredients together until well combined, then cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 3 or 6 hours, use a fork to check the potatoes to make sure they are fork-tender and cooked through.
When the potatoes are fork-tender, add 3 cups of shredded cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream to the slow cooker and stir thoroughly to combine. Cook on high for another 30-45 minutes or until the cheeses are melted, stirring occasionally.
Serve warm with delicious toppings like bacon, cheese, chives, crackers, and sour cream.
- This recipe calls for double the amount of frozen hash browns than is typical, but I find this hearty soup perfect! If you prefer a more “soupy” soup, use 32 oz of hash browns, 4 cups of broth, and one can of cream of chicken soup.
- I recommend using cheese you’ve shredded yourself, as pre-shredded cheese doesn’t always melt as well.
- Add a bit of hot sauce to your bowl if you like spicy soup!
