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)
  • 1 pound bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 4 cups chicken stock, unsalted
  • 1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Begin by placing the chicken breasts, cream cheese, ranch dressing seasoning, cooked and chopped bacon, and unsalted chicken stock into a 6-quart slow cooker. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook on Low Heat: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. This slow cooking process will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender and juicy.
  3. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the chicken to your desired texture. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the creamy broth.
  4. Add Cheddar Cheese and Finish: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker. Continue cooking until the cheese has fully melted and is well incorporated, yielding a creamy and savory soup.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese has melted to your liking, the soup is ready to serve. Enjoy this comforting, flavorful keto chicken cream cheese soup straight from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions before serving.
  • You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of xanthan gum into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese to keep the soup creamy and keto-friendly.
  • Make sure to use unsalted chicken stock to control the sodium level.
