Good Eats: Potato Soup

Know what I hate (points if you just said "bloggers that drop off the face of the earth and reappear randomly")? When Pinterest links don't go anywhere. You get that nice little message that the link to the delicious soup you want to know more about is really just spam or inappropriate material. Sigh. Luckily this recipe for awesome potato soup was right there on the pin.

                                   


Of  course I had to make some husband friendly adjustments...and some overly zealous crockpot (low seems to be medium, medium seems to be high, and high is oh shit, it's burnt already) adjustments. Here's my revised recipe:

Half Bag Frozen Hash Browns
3 Cups Chicken Stock
1 Can Cream of Chicken
Salt and Pepper to Taste
8 oz Block Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Milk
Cooking Spray

Start by spraying your crockpot to help prevent sticking. Hash browns in the crockpot, top with Cream of Chicken, add in a cup of stock, and add salt and pepper. Add the rest of the stock a bit at a time (about a half a cup, but I didn't really measure) over 3 - 5 hours (I know that's a big window but it really depends on your pot. Just make sure the hash browns are broken down and creamy). When the hash browns are creamy add in cream cheese and milk and cook for a half hour until cream cheese is melted and incorporated.

There's been a gaping hole of sadness in the husbands life since Bennigans closed and took it's awe inspiring potato soup with it. This made the ache a little better.
