This Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Soup in the crockpot is LOADED! Not only with flavor but with veggies too! This was something that I had never made before. But I had a house full for Christmas Eve and after searching my fridge and pantry decided to throw this together. And my entire family LOVED it! There is some prep work involved. But it is minimal. And after throwing everything in the crockpot, you can just sit back and relax and wait for dinner to be finished!

How To Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Soup
Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and garlic to the crockpot. You will add the seasonings as well. This is just a summary and the full recipe is written below!
Season your boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. I used this Kinders The Blend because it is my go-to seasoning because it is so good! Brown these in a skillet over medium heat in some oil. This step is optional, but I do recommend it!

In a large mixing bow, mix together some cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, ranch seasoning, and chicken broth. Pour that into the crockpot and mix well. Then place the chicken on top and make sure it is all completely submerged under the liquid. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8.
When it is finished, carefully remove the chicken and give it a rough chop. You can shred it if you prefer.
Use a potato masher to mash just a few of the potatoes in the crockpot. Stir in some heavy cream and grated cheese and mix until the cheese is melted. Add the chicken back in along with 12 oz of cooked crumbled bacon. Stir in some dried parsley and salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Serve it with some more of the chopped bacon on top and enjoy!
