My absolute favorite aspect of this recipe is that it uses FROZEN HASH BROWNS. That means no peeling, chopping, or slicing potatoes. Just open the bag, dump it in, and you’re ready to go!

What kind of hash browns are used in this recipe?

You’ll need a 30 oz bag of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes.

Do I need to thaw the hash browns first?

Nope! Just dump in the contents of the bag frozen, the Crockpot does the rest!

Can you freeze cheesy potato soup?

This recipe uses melted cream cheese, so it’s not the best candidate to freeze. Leftovers store well in the fridge, however.

How do you thicken potato soup?
