For a richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. A dash of smoked paprika can also add depth. This soup freezes exceptionally well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers or bags. To thicken the soup, mash some of the hash browns against the side of the slow cooker before serving. Garnish with a swirl of sour cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.

Jul 24, 2023I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a ham hock for even more flavor.
