Crack Tomato Soup - creamy tomato soup loaded with cheddar, bacon, and ranch spices. This is the ultimate tomato soup recipe. Effortless to make and bursting with flavor. Condensed tomato soup, chicken, broth, crushed tomatoes, ranch dressing mix, bacon, heavy cream, and cheddar cheese. Ready to eat in about 30 minutes. Serve with a salad and grilled cheese sandwich for a meal the whole family will enjoy!
I suggest using low-sodium or no-salt chicken broth in this recipe.
DO NOT add any liquid to the canned tomato soup. Just use the condensed soup straight from the can.
Add a dash of red pepper flakes for a kick.
Feel free to add any vegetables to the soup that you enjoy. Fresh onion, celery, and carrots are good.
If adding vegetables, melt butter in the pot. Sauté veggies until soft and starting to turn golden brown. Add remaining ingredients as directed.
Use an immersion blender to blend the vegetables into the soup mixture for a smooth texture.
Can I make Crack Tomato Soup in the slow cooker? Yes! Add the soup, chicken broth, tomatoes, bacon, and ranch seasoning. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours. Add heavy cream and cheddar cheese. Cook on HIGH until the cheese has melted.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
