Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh dill, for garnish
• Homemade croutons, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the ground chicken, cooking until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the soup becomes creamy.
5. Add the cooked and crumbled turkey bacon, ranch dressing, and dried dill. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
7. Remove from heat and let the soup rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of ranch dressing, fresh dill, and a handful of homemade croutons.

Helpful Tips

For a thicker soup, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water to the soup during cooking. If you’re short on time, use store-bought croutons instead of making them at home. This soup pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or a crusty piece of bread to soak up every last drop.

Storage Instructions

This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain the creamy texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to substitute ground turkey or beef if you prefer. You can also use Greek yogurt in place of heavy cream for a lighter version of this soup.

Pairings

To complement this hearty soup, consider serving it with a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or a light Pinot Grigio to balance out the rich flavors.
