Potato Soup Hashbrowns (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cans (14.5 oz each) low-sodium chicken broth.
02 - 32 oz bag of frozen hash brown potato cubes.
03 - 10.5 oz can of chicken soup with cream.
04 - 1 small yellow onion, diced finely.
05 - 1½ cups freshly shredded medium cheddar cheese.
06 - 6 tbsp salted butter.
07 - 1 cup of sour cream.
08 - ¼ tsp ground black pepper.
09 - ½ tsp kosher salt.
10 - Extra handfuls of shredded cheese for garnish.
11 - Top with sliced green onions.
12 - Add crispy bacon crumbles for garnish.
13 - Scoop extra sour cream on top.

# Instructions:

01 - In a big pot on medium heat, toss in hash browns, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, butter, and the diced onion.
02 - Stir regularly while cooking the soup for about 20 minutes. Put the lid on to speed things up if the hash browns take time to soften.
03 - Once the hash browns are tender, mix in the shredded cheese, sour cream, a bit of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper. Keep stirring until the cheese has fully melted.
04 - Spoon into bowls. Drop some extra cheese, sliced green onions, bacon bits, and a dollop of sour cream onto each serving.

# Notes:

01 - Freshly grated cheese melts much better.
02 - Keep stirring so it won’t stick to the pot.
03 - Let it simmer longer to make it thicker, or add broth to thin it out.
