Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cooking your chicken breasts until tender. You can boil, bake, or use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Once cooked, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, reserving some of the bacon fat in the pot for added flavor.
  3. Create the Soup Base: Add chicken broth and cream cheese to the pot, stirring until the cream cheese melts completely and creates a rich, smooth broth.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir in shredded chicken, cooked bacon bits, cheddar cheese, green onions, and seasonings like garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Simmer to Perfection: Allow the soup to simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes so flavors can meld and the cheese fully melts. Stir occasionally to keep the texture creamy and even.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly cooked chicken and crisp bacon make all the difference in flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Skip the Cream Cheese: It’s key for that signature creamy, velvety texture that makes this soup irresistible.
  • Control the Salt: Since bacon and cheese add saltiness, season gradually and taste as you go.
  • Stir Often: Prevent cheese from sticking or clumping by stirring regularly during simmering.
  • Customize Heat Level: Add spices in small amounts to adjust the soup’s warmth according to preference.
