Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling and dicing your russet or Yukon gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces, taking about 10 minutes.
  2. Once the potatoes are prepped, place them into the crock pot as the first layer. Sprinkle your ranch seasoning mix evenly over them, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon if you're adding it.
  3. Now it’s time to enrich your soup with flavor; pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the layered ingredients, ensuring coverage for even cooking.
  4. Set your crock pot to low and let it work its magic for 7-8 hours, or you can opt for high and set it for 4 hours.
  5. Once cooked, check the potato tenderness and stir in heavy cream for that luxurious finish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra cheddar cheese, crunchy bacon bits, or fresh green onions for presentation.
