Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 16 oz cream cheese (full-fat, two 8-ounce packages)
- 1 oz ranch seasoning mix (1 packet)
- 1 lb cooked bacon, chopped (crispy and drained)
- 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar recommended)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Combine the chicken chunks, cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, chopped cooked bacon, and chicken stock evenly in a 6-quart slow cooker, ensuring all ingredients are well distributed for even cooking.
- Cook on Low Heat: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender and juicy.
- Shred the Chicken: After cooking, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks to your desired texture. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to mix with the creamy broth.
- Add Cheddar Cheese and Finish: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker and continue cooking until the cheese has fully melted and blended into the soup, creating a creamy and savory consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheddar cheese has melted, serve the soup hot directly from the slow cooker for a comforting, flavor-packed meal anytime.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and creaminess.
- Crispy, drained bacon adds smoky flavor and texture; you can bake or pan-fry your bacon in advance.
- Sharp cheddar cheese enhances the soup’s flavor—feel free to adjust the quantity based on your preference.
- For a richer soup, use organic or high-quality chicken stock.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep and tastes even better the next day once the flavors fully develop.
- Ensure the slow cooker is at least 6-quart capacity to avoid overflow and ensure even cooking.
