Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large pot, add 4 cups of frozen hash browns, 1 cup of chopped onion, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, watching carefully as it bubbles. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the soup to cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the hash browns are tender and the onions have softened, releasing their delicious aroma.
  • After the hash browns are tender, carefully stir in ¾ cup of heavy cream into the pot. This addition will transform your Hash Brown Potato Soup into a creamy delight. Continue to cook the soup for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  • Once heated through, remove the pot from the heat. Ladle the piping hot soup into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of ¼ cup of chopped fresh chives. Serve immediately and relish the comfort of your homemade creation!

Notes

For best results, choose quality frozen hash browns and avoid skipping the simmering step to maintain the soup's texture. Adjust the heavy cream to your preferred level of creaminess.
