Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup is the ultimate cozy, cheesy, bacon-loaded comfort food — made effortlessly in your slow cooker. It’s rich, creamy, and full of flavor, perfect for chilly nights or easy weeknight dinners.

“Crack” recipes are named for their addictive combo of cheddar, bacon, and ranch — and this soup delivers on all three.


🥓🧀🥔 Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup


🧾 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

  • 1 (30 oz) bag frozen hash brown potatoes (shredded or diced)

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened and cubed

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half

  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (plus extra for topping)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • Optional: chopped green onions or chives for garnish


🥣 Instructions

1. Add to Crock Pot

  • Place frozen potatoes, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, broth, milk, ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese, and pepper into your slow cooker.

  • Stir gently to combine. (Cream cheese can stay in chunks; it will melt later.)

2. Cook

  • Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, stirring occasionally.

  • About 30 minutes before serving, stir well to fully incorporate the melted cream cheese.

3. Add Bacon

  • Stir in the cooked bacon just before serving for best texture.

4. Serve

  • Ladle into bowls and top with:

    • Extra shredded cheese

    • Crumbled bacon

    • Green onions or chives

    • A dollop of sour cream (optional)


✅ Tips

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a heartier, protein-packed soup.

  • Prefer it thicker? Stir in 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water slurry near the end.

  • Want a smoother soup? Use an immersion blender to puree part of it.

  • Make it spicier with a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños.


🥄 Variations

  • Low-carb option: Swap potatoes for cauliflower florets.

  • Make-ahead: Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat gently; it thickens over time.

  • Freezer-friendly: Yes! Freeze before adding dairy for best texture (or reheat gently after thawing).
