    Great for serving up to a crowd or just for you and your family.
    Reheats really well for dinner or even lunches throughout the week.
    Ingredients Needed
    Chicken – You can use cooked shredded chicken that you have on hand. Or cook up some chicken breasts that you then shred or dice into pieces.

    Condensed Soup – Chicken condensed soup is going to help give this soup that creamy texture.

    Stock – Chicken stock works great for this recipe. I opted for a low-sodium stock but you can easily use a classic chicken stock or broth.
    Milk – Whole milk is going to offer the richest flavor. You can use skim milk, 2 percent milk, etc.

    Vegetables – Carrots and celery were both used to help enhance the flavor of the chicken crack soup even more.

    Ranch Dressing Mix – It must be dry ranch mix for this, not liquid ranch. The ranch mix is going to elevate the flavor tremendously.

    Bacon – Thick-cut bacon that is cooked and diced into bite-size pieces is key. You want it crispy so that it really enhances the flavor.

    Cheese – I opted for a mild cheddar cheese, but any flavor of cheese works. Sharp, Colby Jack, etc.
    Cream Cheese – Cream cheese is going to really richen the flavor of the soup and offer a thicker consistency.

    Spaghetti – You can use spaghetti or angel hair for the noodles in the recipe.
    Pro Tips For Success
    Season Well
    You will use the vegetables and the dry ranch seasoning to create a variety of flavors which all work together for a bold flavor. You can also season with salt and pepper at the end to taste.

    Cook Chicken
    Make sure that the chicken is fully cooked before you go to cook up the soup. Now you can use leftover chicken you have on hand, rotisserie chicken, etc. Or you cook up the chicken in a skillet or in a pot on the stovetop.

    Low Sodium Stock
    Now one thing is the ranch dry mix is rich in salty flavor, so using a low sodium stock to help control the salt.
    Thicken As Needed

    If you find your soup is not thickening the way you want, you can mix cornstarch and water to create a cornstarch slurry. Just mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water, and mix it into the soup mixture. After a few minutes, it will thicken.

    Simmer The Soup
    Allowing a slow simmer is key to getting the flavors from blending together but also helping to not curdle the cream cheese. If you go to boiling the mixture once the cream cheese is in there, it can cause a clumpy texture to the cream cheese.
    Storing
    Refrigerate any of the soup you do not eat in the fridge in a sealed container for 3-4 days. You can reheat the soup on the stovetop or microwave.

    Now you can freeze the soup as well for up to 4-5 months. But it will create a more tender pasta once it thaws from being frozen. But the flavor will still be delicious.
    FAQs
    How Can I Make Crack Chicken Soup Gluten-Free?
    Make sure the ranch seasoning mix is gluten-free and condensed soup that contains no gluten, and then reach for gluten-free pasta. Then you should have a gluten-free soup.

    What can I use instead of chicken breast?

    So if you do not want to use a chicken breast as the base of the chicken dish, reach for chicken thighs, tenderloins, etc. The idea behind it is to make sure it is a boneless chicken that can be diced and shredded up into bite-size pieces.
    How Can I Make the Soup Spicier?
    You can dice up some jalapenos and mix in the soup, add a splash of hot sauce, red pepper flakes, or even some cayenne pepper. Any of these items will add a splash of spice to the chicken soup.

    What Sides Pair Well with Crack Chicken Soup?
    While this soup can be a meal in one, it also can have great sides to accompany it. From crusty bread that is great for dipping, salad, or even a side of veggies. I love using bread for dipping.

    How to Make Homemade Mousse Dessert

    With few ingredients and easy preparation, this dish delights with its creamy texture and mild flavor. Simple and delicious. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

    Recipe Ingredients:

    • 3 chopped bananas (peeled)
    • 2 tablespoons of butter
    • 1 cup of milk (8.5 fl oz) – (250 ml)
    • 1 cup of heavy cream (8.5 fl oz) – (250 ml)
    • 5.3 oz of sweetened condensed milk – (150 g)
    • 4 tablespoons of cornstarch (such as Maizena)

    Instructions:

    First, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the bananas, cut into small pieces. Then, sauté the bananas over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

    Next, blend the bananas using an immersion blender or a regular blender until you achieve a smooth and fine mixture.

    After that, add the milk and mix well. Then, incorporate the cornstarch, stirring until it is completely dissolved.

    Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens. Transfer it to a glass dish, cover with plastic wrap directly touching the cream, and let it cool.

    Once the cream has cooled, whip the heavy cream in a mixer until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, whipping until you achieve a smooth consistency.

    Next, beat the banana cream in the mixer until it is completely smooth. Then, fold in the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture into the banana cream, whipping again until it becomes creamy and homogeneous.

    Transfer the cream into a piping bag. If you don’t have one, use a plastic bag and cut a small tip.

    Finally, assemble the dessert in individual cups, layering if desired, and finish by decorating as you like.

    Ingredients
    1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, if frozen)
    1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely diced
    1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda work well)
    1/4 cup cream cheese or ricotta (optional, for creaminess)
    1 small onion, finely chopped
    1 garlic clove, minced
    2 tbsp olive oil or butter
    1 tsp dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or Italian seasoning)
    Salt and black pepper to taste
    1 egg (for egg wash)
    Sesame seeds or grated Parmesan (optional, for garnish)
    Instructions1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    2. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or butter) in a pan over medium heat.
    Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent (about 3 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
    Stir in the shredded chicken, season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
    Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in the shredded cheese and cream cheese (if using). Set aside.
    3. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
    Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 6 equal strips (about 2 inches wide).
    Spread a thin layer of the chicken and cheese filling along one long edge of each strip.4. Shape the Roses:
    Gently roll up each strip of puff pastry with the filling to create a spiral or “rose” shape.
    Make sure the edge is sealed underneath to hold the rose together.
    5. Add Egg Wash and Toppings:
    Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the surface of each pastry rose for a golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or Parmesan, if desired.
    6. Bake:
