4 cups Potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth use vegetable broth for vegetarian
1 cup Heavy cream or half-and-half substitute with whole milk for lighter version

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.
