Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 3 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken Rotisserie chicken works well for quick prep.
  • 1 can Condensed Chicken Soup Stick to condensed for best results.
  • 4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Stock Regular stock can be used if preferred.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Non-dairy milk may reduce creaminess.
  • 1 cup Chopped Celery Adds crunch and depth of flavor.
  • 1 cup Sliced Carrots Fresh or frozen options are fine.
For Flavor Enhancements
  • 1 packet Dry Ranch Dressing Mix Ensure this is the dry mix.
  • 8 slices Thick-Cut Bacon Feel free to use turkey bacon or omit.
  • 1 cup Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese Sharp cheddar or colby jack can also be used.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it’s softened for easy mixing.
For the Noodles
  • 8 oz Thin Spaghetti or Angel Hair Pasta Gluten-free pasta is a great alternative.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain and crumble.
  2. In a Dutch oven, combine cooked shredded chicken, condensed chicken soup, chicken stock, milk, softened cream cheese, celery, carrots, and ranch mix. Stir until smooth.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
  4. Add uncooked pasta, crumbled bacon, and cheddar cheese to the pot. Simmer until the pasta is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Serve warm in bowls, optionally topped with extra crumbled bacon.
