Hash Brown Potato Soup Recipe

Looks Great would like to try it,BUT,is there any way to sub out the caned soup, it's way to high in sodium for me. Would appreciate any hints

My family loves a similar version of this recipe. Try substituting freshly grated russet potatoes for the hash browns (cheaper and readily available), 8 oz. sour cream for the cream cheese (easier blending), add at least 1 T of minced onion and at least 1-2 T minced garlic, increase the grated cheese to at least 1 C. The sour cream is added in the last hour of cooking, along with chopped green onions. I also use prepackaged real bacon pieces (at least 1 C) for convenience, but fried and crumbled bacon works well too. Cook 6-8 hours on Low in slow cooker.

This is a delicious, hearty soup, perfect for when the temps dip in the autumn and winter days. I followed the recipe, including the garnishes, but also I riffed off some suggestions below, adding some sour cream (3tbs) plus doing the full 8oz Monte of the cream cheese. I used two Russet potatoes, not one. I added some garlic and minced onion as suggested. I also browned the hash browns as suggested but I like the Potatoes O’Brien idea which I’ll do next time. I’ll also opt for a bit more rather just 28 ounces and more condensed cream of chicken soup. My wife said the onion flavor came out nicely and was well balanced I totally reject the idea this is bland and needs a lot of help from spices. That said, I’m not sure if you go with lower sodium alternatives it will turn out as good. It’s a keeper!

Made this exactly as recipe stated. It was good but a little bland. I’d recommend using an immersion blender to blend the hash browns and make the soup creamy, otherwise the potato texture is stringy. It really needs the bacon, cheese and green onions on top to complete it. I think it also could be a good base for a cheddar cheese soup which I think I will try next time.

Wonderful recipe - I made a few additions - sautéed onions, carrots and celery. Added 3 large, chopped russets. Added cream of potato soup. SOOO Good!!!

So cozy — made me feel at home.

Recipe was delicious, very comfy, family loved it! I did make a few changes..browned up hash browns, added stalk of celery, used bigger can of soup. Need to cut 1 potato in smaller cubes. Next time, Sautee onion, maybe add more hashbrowns for leftovers.

Great soup for a chilly night. Made it on the stovetop instead of slow cooker for our convenience. Total time involved was about 40 minutes. We like more seasoning and a little savory kick, so I did jazz it up with a few additions, but the basic recipe is an overall keeper.

This is a go too. Currently in crockpot right now for dinner tonight. Only thing I have changed over the years is: add second can of cream of chicken reduce sodium and I use chicken bouillon then add water. Garnish with Chedder Cheese, Sour Cream, more bacon pieces and green onions. Yummy

Added extra cheese and it’s GREAT!! I’ve made it at least 10 times. I also mash up the hash browns to thicken it.

I used my immersion blender before adding the cream cheese, then threw in some frozen corn, frozen spinach and all the bacon bits. I sprinkled the cheese on top and let it sit on warm until dinner. I think the kids are gonna love it!

The recipe is not creamy at all. I will try again making it with less stock and more cream cheese. It is very easy!

I added Ranch seasoning, 1cube of chicken bouillon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt (potatoes need seasoning).

Love, love, love it!! Rich creamy taste.

So simple but so satisfying.

Made a double batch of this for an office potluck. I added some sliced carrots and jarred garlic, two tsp. I ditched the garnishes/toppings because it was a potluck. The team enjoyed this so much we heated leftovers the next day. My boss then took what was left from day two for lunch on day three. Due to its comfortable and filling nature I'll be making two crockpots of this for a meal for the homeless a group and I do next week.

Made as is. Added some celery & carrots for variety. Was some of the best soup I've had. Will make again. Thank you.

I hate when people change the recipe and then comment about it... I'm gonna do it anyway. :) I added some frozen corn and 112 g of chicken breast tenderloins that I stir fried and then chopped. Fantastic. My partner (very picky eater) asked me to make it monthly. I haven't done the math, but it "feels" like a nice value. Mine turned out to make 8 servings rather than 6.

Made exactly as directed. VERY bland, no flavor other than potato, had to really add spices to get any flavor. Will not make again

Eliminated the onion, used a frozen bag of Potatoes O'Brien instead. Also, we always use Cream of Chicken with Herbs for any recipe asking for CofC. Very good recipe.
