Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 16 ounces cream cheese (two 8-ounce packages)
- 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning mix (1-ounce)
- 1 pound bacon, cooked and chopped
- 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts, cream cheese, ranch dressing seasoning mix, cooked and chopped bacon, and chicken stock into a 6-quart slow cooker. Distribute the ingredients evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Cook on Low Heat: Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender and juicy.
- Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker after cooking. Use two forks to shred the chicken to your desired texture. Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir to combine with the soup broth.
- Add Cheddar Cheese and Finish: Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker. Continue cooking until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy and savory soup.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy and hot, ladle into bowls and enjoy a hearty keto-friendly meal.
Notes
- Use unsalted chicken stock to control sodium levels.
- Bacon can be cooked ahead of time and stored refrigerated until ready to add.
- Adjust ranch seasoning packet amount based on preferred flavor intensity.
- For a thicker soup, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to reduce liquid.
- Leftover soup can be refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
