Hearty Potato Soup

Who doesn't LOVE potato soup?  This is a super
easy recipe and your entire family will gobble it up!

When I asked you today what kind of recipes you were looking for, hands down, you replied you wanted crock pot recipes.  Recently I was telling some girlfriends about a potato soup made in the crockpot with frozen hash browns.  It's not just a great crock pot recipe, but it's one that you can just dump into the crock pot and forget about it. 

Here's what to do:

INGREDIENTS

1 med onion diced

Olive oil

4 cups Orida Southern Style Hash Brown Potatoes

1 can chicken broth

1-2 cloves of garlic, pressed

1/2 tsp. onion salt

1/2 tsp. seasoned salt

1/4 tsp. basil

crushed red pepper to taste

1 pint 1/2 and 1/2 (I use FAT FREE)

green onions, crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Saute onion in a swirl of olive oil until soft.  Remove to slow cooker.  Add potatoes, broth, seasonings and half and half.  Cook on low for 5 hours.

It's the easiest baked potato soup you've ever had.  Delicious and hearty, too.  : )
