Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Soup

0 Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour until fully combined. Cook for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally.
1 Slowly pour in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup, stirring until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the peeled and diced potatoes along with the ranch seasoning. Increase the heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
2 Remove the pot from the heat. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes a few times to create a thicker, creamier texture while leaving some chunks. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted, then add the cooked chicken, sour cream, crumbled bacon, and heavy whipping cream. Stir until everything is well combined. Serve and enjoy!
