Ingredients:
1 30oz. bag of frozen diced hash browns
1 32 oz carton of chicken broth
1 can of condesned cream of chicken soup (10 oz)
1 pkg. cream cheese (8 oz, not fat free)
3 oz bacon bits (REAL bacon bits, such as Hormel brand, not imitation bacon bits, which is what BacOs are)
1 cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Put the potatoes in the crockpot. Add in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and half of
the bacon bits. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours or until potatoes are
tender. An hour before serving, cut the cream cheese into small cubes. Place the cubes in the
crock pot. Mix a few times throughout the hour before serving. Once the cream cheese is
completely mixed in, it's ready to serve. Top with cheddar cheese and some additional bacon
bits.
note: I just put all the bacon bits in right off the bat......THEN added more for garnish....if you're gonna be a bacon lover do it right!

Why would anyone want to use a crockpot to make soup? Seriously, you make it twice as good in half the time using REAL ingredients on the stove. Yes, I use commercially available chicken stock all the time, but everything else is fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Much healthier, and you can control everything, including the amount of sodium. (and yes, I use low-sodium stock)sigpic

(and yes, I use low-sodium stock)I used potatoes, onions and chicken stock.....salt and pepper to taste....threw in the milk, flour and cheese at the end (last 30 minutes) and it was delicious. There was nothing processed in that...well except for the chicken stock but I use lower sodium chicken stock.
