💡 Tips & Variations
- Make your own Ranch seasoning: Combine 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried parsley, ½ tsp dill, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper.
- No cream cheese? Substitute with 1 cup heavy cream for a slightly looser, yet still rich consistency.
- Potato tips: You can use peeled and cubed russet potatoes if baby potatoes aren’t available.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat to avoid curdling the dairy.
✨ Result: A thick, creamy, flavor-packed chicken soup that’s cozy, filling, and perfect for chilly evenings. Each spoonful is loaded with melty cheese, savory bacon, and tender bites of chicken and potato—just what slow cookers were made for!
