Crock Pot Crack Chicken Soup
Description
This soup begins by cooking chicken breast with ranch seasoning, black pepper, chicken broth, and some water in a slow cooker along with part of the cooked bacon. After several hours of slow cooking, the chicken becomes tender enough to shred easily.
Shredded chicken is then mixed back into the slow cooker with cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and chopped baby kale. Additional cooking allows the kale to wilt slightly while the cheese melts into the broth, creating a creamy, thickened soup with tender chicken and savory seasoning.
The dish is served topped with the reserved bacon and extra shredded cheese, adding a pleasant smoky crispness and cheesy finish. The recipe suggests refrigerated storage of leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days.
