Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Dairy

  • 1 lb cooked shredded chicken (preferably rotisserie or crockpot cooked)
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Broth and Seasoning

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Begin by frying the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until they are crispy. Drain the excess grease on paper towels and then crumble the bacon into small pieces for texture and smoky flavor.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: If your chicken is not pre-cooked, roast or use a crockpot to cook until tender and then shred it by hand or with forks. Set shredded chicken aside.
  3. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: In the slow cooker, add the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, chicken broth, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir everything together to evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours. This slow cooking allows the flavors to blend beautifully and the chicken to become very tender.
  5. Add Cream and Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese has melted fully and the soup is creamy and smooth.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional shredded cheese if desired. Serve the soup hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream cheese for heavy cream for a thicker, richer soup.
  • Use low sodium chicken broth to control the salt content better.
  • If you don’t have ranch seasoning mix, combine dried dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt as a homemade version.
  • To make it keto-friendly, ensure bacon and ranch seasoning mix have no added sugars.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
