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 chicken stock, unsalted
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Begin by placing the chicken breasts, cream cheese, ranch dressing seasoning mix, cooked and chopped bacon, and unsalted chicken stock into a 6-quart slow cooker. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed to promote even cooking and flavor melding.
- Cook on Low Heat: Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. This slow cooking process tenderizes the chicken and deeply infuses the soup with savory flavors.
- Shred the Chicken: After cooking, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces or according to your preferred texture. Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the creamy broth.
- Add Cheddar Cheese and Finish: Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the soup in the slow cooker. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and integrated, creating a rich and creamy finish to your keto chicken cream cheese soup.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can reserve some cooked bacon as a garnish.
- Ensure you use unsalted chicken stock to balance the saltiness from bacon and ranch seasoning mix.
- If your cream cheese is firm, consider cutting it into cubes for easier melting.
- Adjust the ranch seasoning amount to taste or use a homemade blend if preferred.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freezes well for up to 3 months.
