How to Make Hash Browns Soup

  1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 4 cups shredded hash browns.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and the hash browns are lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add 6 cups of vegetable or chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the hash browns are tender.
  6. Stir in 1 cup milk or cream (heavy cream for extra richness).
  7. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is smooth and creamy.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup diced cooked ham, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  9. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Just before serving, stir in 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
