Ingredients

1 packet ranch seasoning mix
8 oz cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
1. Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pot.
2. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the ranch seasoning until dissolved.
3. Add the cream cheese and stir until fully melted and smooth.
4. Stir in the shredded chicken and let it heat through.
5. Reduce heat to low and gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring until melted.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for a few more minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
7. Serve topped with crispy bacon and sliced green onions.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut.
Stir continuously when adding cheese to keep the soup smooth.
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently to avoid separating the cream.
