1 block cream cheese (8 oz), cubed
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
Salt to taste

3. Add frozen hash browns directly to the pot. Stir and cook until beginning to soften, about 10 minutes.
4. Add cubed cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until completely melted and smooth.

Notes
This soup thickens as it cools—add milk or broth when reheating.
Great for freezing: store in airtight containers for up to 2 months.
Shredded hash browns or diced both work—just choose your texture preference.
