Shortcut Cream of Potato Soup

This is one of my favorite recipes for soup. It can be ready in 20 minutes and I usually have everything on hand, which is perfect for those busy nights (or if you have a newborn :).



3 cups milk
2 cups frozen southern-style hash browns
1 can cream of potato soup
1/2 c. chopped green onions
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Simmer milk and hash browns together for 10 minutes, stirring often so it doesn't burn. Add cream of potato soup and onions and simmer for about 5 more minutes. Ladle into bowls and pass around bacon and cheese to go on top.
The candy corn breadsticks are just crescent roll triangles, mozzarella cheese for the tip, and cheddar cheese for the middle. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
