Another Pinterest find found it's way to our table today.  I am, normally, not a fan of potatoes unless they are mashed with butter, sour cream, cheese and plenty of seasoning, but I have found I like potato soup made with hash browns.  SO, when I came across this recipe, which has hash browns AND cream cheese, I thought...gotta try it.  Now, I added a question mark to the end of the title because I have never had Outback's Potato Soup...so I have no idea what it tastes like???

My impression was a favorable one and, like so many other of my recipes, it is pretty economical and makes A LOT!!!  I told Matt tonight, who is on a diet, that though this isn't the best for him...he will have to take soup with him to work for a few days.  

I didn't do much different from the posted recipe except I accidentally told Matt to get cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken as stated....so I had to use that.  I also seasoned mine a bit with some garlic salt.

I topped Sierra, Matt's and mine with some fresh grated sharp cheddar, dollop of sour cream and green onion...Daniel I just left off the green onion.
Here is the original recipe:

EASY CROCKPOT POTATO SOUP 

1 30oz. bag of frozen, shredded hash browns {I used Ore Ida}
3 14oz. cans of chicken broth
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1 pkg. cream cheese {don’t use fat free.  It WON’T melt!!!}


In a crockpot, combine everything EXCEPT for the cream cheese.  Cook for 6-8 hours on low heat.  About 1 hour before serving, add cream cheese and keep heated until thoroughly melted.  Serve with cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, green onions, or whatever else you think would be good!!

    I LOVE TO COOK

    It amazes me how many people do not love to cook.  I love it.  There is nothing quite so exhilarating as preparing a meal and having your family loving what you have prepared.  I am often asked what I cook and for my recipes.  I love pinterest and get many of my recipes there. I will now post what's cooking here...hopefully you can be inspired, from the very easy to the more involved.
