Ingredients:

• 6 cups diced potatoes, peeled
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional Garnishes: extra cheese, bacon bits, chopped green onions, or chives

Directions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
2. Layer the Ingredients: Place the diced potatoes at the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the potatoes. Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon on top.
3. Add the Broth: Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the potatoes, ensuring the liquid just covers them.
4. Cook the Soup: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
5. Add Cream and Season: Once the potatoes are fully cooked, stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with extra cheese, bacon bits, and chopped green onions or chives, if desired.
