Well, this is a no brainer! I am probably the only one that had never seen this recipe until recently. Saw on FB and knew I had to adjust to our tastes and try it. It is a definite keeper! Added ham and cheddar cheese to increase protein and make it a meal. Used O'Brien instead of regular hash browns to add the onion and peppers. Used lower sodium products to cut back on sodium content. I doubled the recipe for leftovers. A creamy, cheesy potato soup that uses your slow cooker to do all the work. Delicious and satisfying. A definite comfort soup for a cold winter evening.

Steps:
- Line crock pot or slow cooker with disposable liner for easy clean up later. Put frozen potatoes in crock pot or slow cooker.
- Add chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and ham (if using ham).
- Add a pinch of pepper. Salt to taste only if you like a lot of salt.
- Cook on low 4-6 hours or until potatoes are tender. Add cream cheese after cutting cream cheese into very small cubes.
- Cook 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until cream cheese is melted and completely incorporated. AGAIN: DO NOT USE FAT FREE. WILL NOT MELT!
- Stir in 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted. Soup is now ready to serve.
- Top with bacon bits and additional cheddar cheese if desired. ENJOY that creamy, cheesy potato goodness!
