Boil your potatoes ahead of time if you choose to use the red skin potatoes. I use the frozen hashbrowns to save time.
Start by pouring soup mixture in large pot and 3 large chicken broth containers and bring to a boil.
Toss in your hash browns (I let them get to room temp before using)
Follow Trader Joe's instruction packet for cook time, I generally do 20-30 minutes on medium to high heat. Then use the handheld emulsifier til all ingredients are blended.
Then serve when ready adding all of your favorites!-Shredded cheese, bacon bits, chives, homemade bread croutons etc...
