TIPS FOR THE SLOW COOKER CREAM CHEESE CRACK CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE
This recipe for crack chicken soup in a slow cooker is incredibly flavorful and cheesy! Made with bacon, chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, spinach, and ranch dressing, this dish is the epitome of comfort food. To make it flawless, consider these suggestions:
If you would like the soup to be thinner, feel free to add more chicken broth. Typically, we use four to six cups of liquid in a six-quart slow cooker.
We used reduced-fat cream cheese in place of regular cream cheese in this crack chicken soup, and it turned out very good.
Use a whisk to mix the cream cheese into the broth if it starts to clump in the soup. while an alternative, you might preheat the chicken stock and gradually stir in the cream cheese while you cook.
Prior to covering the chicken in the slow cooker, pour it over. The cream cheese may occasionally separate into the chicken soup. Although this may not be very attractive, the flavor remains unchanged!
For the topping, you can use turkey bacon for standard pork bacon.
