Time 4h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups chicken broth
2 lbs frozen hash brown potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

  • Add Vegetables for Extra Nutrition: Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or corn. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Season to Taste: Don't forget to season the soup with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Top It Off: Before serving, garnish the soup with chopped fresh herbs, crumbled bacon, or shredded cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
