Here’s a simple recipe for Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup—a creamy, cheesy, and savory dish that’s perfect for a cozy dinner! 
Ingredients:
6 cups diced potatoes, peeled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ 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 version)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional garnishes: extra cheese, bacon bits, chopped green onions, or chives
Directions:
Prepare the Potatoes:
Peel and dice the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Layer the Ingredients:
In the crock pot, place the diced potatoes at the bottom.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the potatoes.
Add the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon on top.
Add the Broth:
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the ingredients, making sure the liquid just covers everything.
Cook the Soup:
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easy to mash.
Add Cream and Season:
Stir in the heavy cream once the potatoes are cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your preferred consistency.
Serve:
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with extra cheese, bacon bits, and chopped green onions or chives, if you like.
