In a large crock pot, add the frozen shredded hash browns, sliced kielbasa, chicken broth, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add the can of cream of chicken soup, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Set the crock pot to cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours. Cover and let it cook.
About 30 minutes before the cook time ends, add the cubed cream cheese, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese to the crock pot.
Stir the soup well to ensure the cheeses melt evenly into the broth, creating a creamy, cheesy base.
Replace the lid and allow the soup to finish cooking for the remaining time, stirring occasionally if needed.
Once done, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley, if using.
Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, hearty meal!
