Notes
- Make sure you aren't using the shredded hash browns or the hash brown patties. You want the diced potato cube style hash browns.
- Save time by buying pre-sliced mushrooms.
- Taste the soup before you season it with salt and pepper. The condensed soup and broth both have a lot of sodium so you may not need as much salt as you think.
