Cheap and Easy Potato Soup

I used to make this every Sunday for about four years.  It makes enough to take to lunch every day for the week and costs about $10.00 total for the entire recipe (less if you buy store brand like me). 
So if you are saving your calories and watching your wallet this time of year, this is the recipe for you.

Potato Soup:
One big bag frozen hashbrowns
1 packet white southern gravy mix (dry)
One or two boxes chicken stock
One small onion, minced (or chopped if you are lazy like me)

Dump it all in a slow cooker, stir it all together and cook until kind of creamy; about four to five hours on high.

If you want to make this for dinner, add some shredded cheese, a little bacon, some chives, and a dollop of sour cream, which is probably more caloric than the soup, itself.  I always like the accoutrements, though. 

So save a little money, save a little dough; Christmas is coming, doncha know?
