Place the frozen hash browns, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning into a slow cooker. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
🍲 Step 2: Slow Cook Until Creamy
Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours. Stir every hour to help the ingredients melt together and develop a smooth, creamy texture.
🧀 Step 3: Add Cheese & Bacon
Once the soup is thick and well combined, stir in half of the bacon bits and most of the shredded cheese. Mix until melted and fully incorporated, saving some for garnish.
🥣 Step 4: Serve & Garnish
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top with extra cheese, crispy bacon bits, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
