Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 6 cups diced potatoes (peeled)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese
  • Bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and dice 6 cups of potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and creaminess in the soup.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Crock Pot: In your slow cooker, add the diced potatoes, ranch seasoning mix, chicken or vegetable broth, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon. Stir gently to mix the seasonings and broth with the potatoes.
  3. Cook the Soup: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Add Cream and Finish Soup: Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add remaining cheddar cheese and bacon bits, stirring until cheese is melted and soup is creamy.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with extra shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream to reduce calories slightly.
  • Use vegetable broth and omit bacon for a vegetarian version.
  • For thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding cream.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on slow cooker model.
  • Adjust salt carefully because the ranch seasoning and bacon add saltiness.
