Ingredients

- 1 box chicken stock
- 1-20 oz. Hash-browns
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 c. milk
- 1/2 c. sour cream

Directions

Melt butter over medium heat in large stockpot. Coarsely chop onion and cook in butter until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the stock to the pot, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Season with salt & pepper. Reduce heat to medium and add potatoes. Cook over slow boil until potatoes are done.

Using an immersion blender, blend until mostly smooth. Reduce heat to low, add milk and sour cream and stir well. Cook 3-5 minutes more until heated through. Do not allow soup to boil after adding milk & sour cream. Adjust salt & pepper. Serve at once with cheese topping.
