Ingredients

6 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 (32 oz) box chicken broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup ranch seasoning mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into the crock pot. Add chicken broth, garlic powder, ranch seasoning mix, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash some of the potatoes to your desired consistency.
Stir in the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar, and sour cream until everything is well combined and creamy.
Add the crumbled bacon and mix well. Allow to cook for an additional 15 minutes until the soup is heated through.
Serve topped with chopped green onions and extra cheddar cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: For the creamiest texture, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. Avoid waxy varieties, as they can be too firm and won’t break down as well in the soup.
  • Adjust the Thickness: If you prefer a thicker soup, mash a few of the cooked potatoes directly in the crock pot before adding the dairy. For a thinner consistency, add a bit more chicken broth or milk.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Want to make your soup even richer? Substitute the milk with heavy cream, or add a dollop of sour cream when you stir in the cheese.
  • Add Some Spice: If you like a bit of heat, try adding a dash of cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. You can also add chopped jalapeños with the potatoes for a kick.
  • Time Saver Tips: Use pre-cooked bacon and store-bought frozen diced potatoes if you’re short on prep time. They work just as well and save you a few steps!
  • Storage and Reheating: This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally. If the soup thickens in the fridge, simply add a splash of broth or milk while reheating.
