My 14 month old daughter loves this. Odysseus, who had never before liked potato soup, likes this. It takes about fifteen minutes to make, so I love this.


*You can substitute a half a bag to a full bag of real bacon bacon bits for the fresh stuff--5-10 Tbsp.  And if you don't have green onions on hand, you can substitute dried minced or chopped onions.  Just put them in the water with the hash browns.
