Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a large pot, combine 4 cups of frozen hash browns, 1 cup of diced onion, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Stir these ingredients together over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in enough water or broth to cover the hash brown mixture. Increase the heat and bring it to a boil, which should take about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After the hash browns are tender, stir in ¾ cup of heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each serving with ¼ cup of chopped green onions.
