  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

  5. Stir the soup until thoroughly combined.

Notes

  • For a less salty soup, use low-sodium chicken broth or a lower sodium cream of chicken soup.
  • To make the soup creamier, you can add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, or blend about 1/2 cup of the soup and return it to the slow cooker, or mash some of the potatoes with a masher.
  • If you prefer a smoother soup, you can blend some or all of the soup using an immersion blender, a regular blender, or a food processor.
  • You can substitute fresh diced potatoes for frozen hash browns, ensuring they are cut into small, uniform cubes.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, use vegetable broth and cream of potato, celery, or onion soup, and omit the bacon bits. Use vegan cream cheese and cheese for a vegan option.
