- Cook the Bacon: In a large pot, place chopped bacon over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving some fat in the pot.
- Add the Broth and Chicken: Pour in chicken broth and increase heat to medium-high. Stir in shredded chicken and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Make It Creamy: Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese in small chunks, stirring until melted. Slowly incorporate heavy cream.
- Season and Simmer: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika to the pot. Simmer on low for 5-10 minutes.
- Final Touch: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted, then mix in crispy bacon. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with green onions and additional cheddar cheese. Enjoy!

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing. Use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep. Adjust salt and pepper based on broth's salinity. Mix different cheeses for unique flavors. Add spinach or cauliflower for an extra nutrient boost.
