Method
- Cook bacon in a soup pot until crispy. Set aside and reserve the grease.
- Add chicken broth, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning to the pot. Whisk until the cream cheese is fully melted.
- Add shredded chicken and half of the crumbled bacon. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Add black pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls, top with remaining bacon, and serve hot.
Notes
Double the batch for late-night cravings. Freeze in muffin tins for easy single servings. Reheat gently to preserve the creamy texture, and never skip the bacon garnish — it’s culinary placebo magic.
