Ingredients

Meat

Produce

• 6 cups potatoes, diced

Canned Goods

• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Baking & Spices

• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Dairy

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.

Step 2: Add Ingredients to the Crock Pot
Place potatoes, broth, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper into the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3: Slow Cook Until Tender
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until potatoes are soft and creamy.

Step 4: Add Cream and Cheese
Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese. Let the soup cook for an additional 15 minutes to melt the cheese and thicken the broth.

Step 5: Add Bacon and Serve
Mix in crumbled bacon or use it as a topping. Serve warm with extra cheese or green onions if desired.

Tips for Extra Flavor

• Add a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.
• Use smoked bacon for deeper flavor.
• Thicken the soup with a cornstarch slurry if you prefer a thicker consistency.
• Stir in extra cheese for an even creamier finish.
