• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 packet ranch seasoning
• 2 cups cooked bacon, chopped
• 1 block cream cheese (softened)

​How to Make Crack Chicken Soup with Biscuit Topping

Prepare the Soup

In a large pot, combine your shredded chicken, chicken broth, ranch seasoning, shredded cheese, and cream cheese. Stir everything together over medium heat until the cheese melts and blends into the broth, making it a rich and creamy sauce.

Add the bacon and transfer soup into oven-safe baking dish if needed. 

Make the Biscuit Topping

While the soup simmers, prepare your biscuit mix according to the package instructions or make homemade biscuit dough. You can drop dollops of the biscuit dough right on top of the soup if you’re cooking it in an oven-safe pot, or you can bake them separately if you prefer a crispier biscuit.

Bake

If you’re going for the full baked experience, preheat your oven to 375°F. then drop the biscuit dough on top of the soup.

Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve

Once your biscuits are done, scoop out hearty portions of the soup into a large bowl, making sure each bowl gets some of that delicious biscuit topping. 

Tips for Serving

• Sprinkle green onion on top for extra flavor and freshness.
• Add a dollop of sour cream on top of flaky biscuits.
• Brush garlic butter on top of the biscuits when they get out of the oven. 
• Get some veggies in this meal by adding a few handfuls of baby spinach, green beans, or a package of frozen mixed veggies into the soup. 
• Add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to soup mixture for some spice. 

Tips for Busy Moms

• Make it ahead: This soup freezes well! You can make the soup portion in advance and just bake the biscuits fresh when you’re ready to serve.
• Substitutions: No ranch seasoning? Mix 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for a quick homemade version.
• Speed it up: Use rotisserie chicken to save time on shredding and cooking or at the beginning of the week, bake up some boneless skinless chicken breasts then shred them and use that chicken in a bunch of different recipes throughout the week. 
• Slow Cooker: Make the soup portion in a crock pot so you can walk into a house smelling delicious after a long day of work. Then just throw the soup in an oven-safe dish and top with biscuit dough and cook.
