Share:
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen southern style hash browns
- ½ cup yellow onion diced
- 32 ounces chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups diced ham
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded (see note!)
- salt & pepper to taste
- dried parsley for garnish
Instructions
- To a 6-quart slow cooker, add the frozen hash brown potatoes, onion, chicken broth, ham, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper. Stir everything together.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- When the cooking time is up, add the cream cheese to a blender, and scoop a ladleful of broth and hot potatoes into the blender with the cream cheese. (You just need enough soup to get the blender moving.) Cover and blend until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture back into the rest of the soup still in the slow cooker. Add the shredded cheddar and stir until melted.
- Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste as needed. Serve warm with bread and butter.
Notes
- Don't buy pre-shredded cheese for this recipe! It won't melt as well as block cheese shredded at home.
