This is really easy, a friend with severe arthritis gave it to me, no potato peeling.It might sound a little difficult at first 'cause you kind of guess on some of the measurements but it is so easy. If you want it thick, put in more instant potatoes, want it thinner - pour in more milk.

1 lb bag Frozen, shredded hash browns
1 lb Bacon, cooked crisp & crumbled
1 Medium onion, chopped (our ¾ cup frozen chopped onion)
1 box Instant potato flakes
Water
Milk – minimum 2 cups
Butter – minimum 3 tbsp
Salt – to taste
Pepper – to taste
Directions:
1. Fry bacon, drain and crumble then put in large pot.
2. Add chopped onion and frozen has browns
3. Pour in water just to cover and heat just to boiling.
4. Add 3 tablesppons butter and 2 cups milk, reduce heat to medium for simmering.
5. Keep adding ingredients to taste.
6. Once everything is heated, start adding potato flakes to the consistency you like.
7. If it is too thick, add more milk, if it is too thin, add more potato flakes.
8. Satl & pepper to taste

Can be poured in to crockpot and heated on low throughout day. Remember to add milk as needed so it doesn’t become potato paste.

This is really a fabulous soup.
