Description

This Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup is a creamy, cheesy, and savory dish that’s perfect for cozy days. With rich flavors of bacon, cheese, and ranch seasoning, this soup is guaranteed to become a family favorite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups diced potatoes, peeled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: extra cheese, bacon bits, chopped green onions, or chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    Peel and dice the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.

  2. Layer the Ingredients:
    In the crock pot, place the diced potatoes at the bottom. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the potatoes. Add the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon on top.

  3. Add the Broth:
    Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the layered ingredients, ensuring that the liquid just covers them.

  4. Cook the Soup:
    Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. The soup is ready when the potatoes are tender and easily mashed.

  5. Add Cream and Season:
    Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.

  6. Serve:
    Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with extra cheese, bacon bits, and chopped green onions or chives, if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer soup, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
  • You can add other toppings like sour cream for extra creaminess.
