Craving old-fashioned baked potato soup but don't have the time? No worries, this version uses hash brown potatoes for a quick and easy potato soup that will fix that craving.

1 bag (2 lb size) frozen hash brown potatoes
1/2 cup butter
2 cups chicken broth
1 quart half and half
2 cups milk
1/3 cup flour
1 jar bacon bits (or to taste)
2 green onions, sliced thinly (tops and all)
salt and pepper, to taste
additional bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese for garnish
In a large soup pot, bring chicken broth and butter to a boil. Add hash browns and cover. Steam and cook until potatoes are done, 10 minutes or so.
Combine the milk with the flour. Add the half and half and milk mixture to the pot. Cook until mixture comes to a boil.
Add bacon bits and sliced onion. Reduce heat and let simmer for 20-30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste before serving. Serve with bacon and cheese garnish.
