How to Make Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup

  • Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces. Aim for about 10 minutes to get this step done.
  • In your crock pot, begin layering the diced potatoes, followed by the ranch seasoning mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon if using.
  • Pour enough chicken or vegetable broth over the layered ingredients to cover them completely.
  • Set your crock pot to low for 7-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Keep the lid on throughout cooking.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half. For a creamier texture, blend some portions before seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle your warm soup into bowls and garnish with additional cheese, crispy bacon bits, or fresh green onions.
