The Best Crockpot Low Carb Chicken Bacon Ranch Soup
Chicken Bacon Ranch Soup that’s low carb, trim healthy mama s, and amazing!
Having a container of dry ranch seasoning can be a good problem to have. I love finding different ways to use it. Here is a new soup recipe. It was a huge hit with my family. Soups aren’t their favorite dinner. I don’t know if it has to do with us living in Texas, so soups aren’t made that often. I love soup though. It’s an all in one meal.
This soup isn’t just delicious, it’s easy!
I want to live my life and make yummy meals. That means the recipes I make need to be easy and fast. Bacon prices can be high, so I suggest using between 4-6 pieces. And if your bacon renders enough fat, use the bacon fat in place the oil called for in the recipe. My bacon didn’t render enough so I needed some extra fat.
Surprise, there’s cauliflower in the soup!
I love packing extra nutrition into as many recipes as possible. My kids aren’t too fond of cauliflower but when I can hide in something with some yummy flavors, they don’t know. The cauliflower hides beautifully in the soup. I wouldn’t add okra, it might turn the soup green. If you are family isn’t a huge fan of soup, make this recipe. If your family is a huge fan of soup, make this recipe. This is one of those yummy recipes that is a hit.
