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)
- 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound cooked and chopped bacon
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts, cream cheese, ranch dressing seasoning mix, cooked chopped bacon, and chicken stock evenly into a 6-quart slow cooker to ensure uniform cooking and flavor distribution.
- Cook on Low Heat: Cover the slow cooker and set it on LOW heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to cook thoroughly while the flavors meld and the cream cheese melts into a creamy base.
- Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the chicken breasts using tongs or a slotted spoon. Shred the chicken using two forks to your preferred texture, then return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the soup base.
- Add Cheddar Cheese and Finish: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker. Continue cooking on low until the cheese is fully melted and the soup has a creamy, smooth consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheddar cheese has melted and the soup is hot, ladle into bowls and serve immediately. This hearty, keto-friendly soup is perfect for a comforting meal anytime.
Notes
- For thicker soup, you can reduce the chicken stock to 3 cups or cook uncovered in the last 30 minutes.
- Feel free to add low-carb vegetables like spinach or broccoli during the last hour of cooking for extra nutrients.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and cheddar for best keto compliance and flavor.
- Ensure the ranch seasoning mix is sugar-free to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
