Artery Clogging Pinterest.

I briefly perused my friends' boards to see if anyone had any fun crockable recipes pinned. I stole this one from Amanda. (Hi Amanda!) It looked deliciously unhealthy and was compared to some Outback Steakhouse potato soup I've never had. Sold!

The original is HERE.

"Easy Crock Pot Potato Soup" (6 quart pot)

~1 (30 oz.) bag of frozen, shredded hash browns (I used Safeway's store brand.)
~3 (14 oz.) cans of chicken broth
~1 (15 oz) can of cream of chicken soup
~1/2 cup onion, chopped
~1/4 tsp. ground pepper
~1 pkg. cream cheese (I used full fat because the original recipe said that fat free wouldn't melt. More on that later...)
~crispy bacon pieces
~green onions
~shredded cheddar

Add potatoes, broth, soup, onion, and pepper to crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Add cream cheese 1 hour before end of cooking time. (I cut mine into cubes in hopes that it would aid in the melting. More on that later...)
Ladle in to soup bowls.
Garnish with bacon, green onions, and cheddar.

8 servings.

I had high hopes for this soup, but it was kind of disappointing. I thought that with the artery clogging ingredient list, it was going to be delicious. It was good, but didn't enter delicious territory. The cream cheese didn't melt. (Someone on the internet lied? That never happens!) My other half and I agree that it seemed to be missing something. He thinks that it'd be better with chunks of potatoes. My vote goes to more bacon.

--Or maybe I should save that for the jar of Nutella waiting for us in the pantry (Thanks, Molly). You think this is bad for you? Check THIS out. Thank you, Pinterest.
