Cheesy Hash Browns And Kielbasa Soup (Crock Pot)

1. 1

   In crock pot, combine hash browns, kielbasa, broth and onions. Stir well and cook on low 6-8 hours.

2. 2

   30 minutes before serving, cut cheese into cubes and stir into soup. Cover and cook on high 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.

3. 3

   We like this soup pretty thick, but if you prefer a thinner soup now is a good time to add some extra broth or milk. Wait until after the cheese has melted to add extra liquid so you can be sure of the consistency.

4. 4

   Serve hot with crusty bread!

5. 5

   To make this recipe A LOT healthier, use turkey kielbasa, fat free/low sodium chicken broth, and Light Velveeta. I routinely use these substitutions and the soup still turns out fantastic! If I have the time, I do like to remove the casings from the turkey kielbasa as I think they tend to get a little chewy when cooked all day. Just split them carefully with a knife and peel away the casings before chopping. Enjoy!
