4 ounces cream cheese cubed
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

In a 6-quart crock pot, combine frozen hash browns, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, diced onion, salt, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper.
Stir gently to mix ingredients.
Place cubed cream cheese on top of the mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream.
Use a potato masher to slightly break up some of the potatoes for a creamier texture, if desired.
Serve hot with optional toppings and enjoy!

Notes

For a chunkier soup, skip the potato masher step. For an even creamier soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cream.
