Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 3 cups chicken broth – Forms the base of the soup.
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup – Adds richness and a creamy texture.
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened – Makes the soup luxuriously creamy.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – For cheesy goodness.
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix – The key to the "crack" flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – Enhances the savory notes.

For Garnish:

  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon – Adds a smoky, crispy topping.
  • Chopped green onions or parsley – For freshness.
  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese – Because more cheese is always better!

How to Make Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

  1. In your crock pot, add the diced potatoes, onion, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and garlic powder.
  2. Stir everything together to combine.

Step 2: Cook the Soup

  1. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easy to mash.

Step 3: Blend for Creaminess

  1. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamier consistency, leaving some potato chunks for texture. Alternatively, mash the potatoes lightly with a fork or potato masher.

Step 4: Finish and Garnish

  1. Once the cheese and cream cheese are fully melted and incorporated, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  2. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions or parsley.

Pro Tips for Success

  1. Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened before adding it to the soup to help it blend smoothly.
  2. Use Freshly Grated Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese may not melt as smoothly due to anti-caking agents.
  3. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed.
