Cheesy Potato Bacon Ranch Soup

Very easy and fast to put together Potato Soup!

It is loaded with flavor. 

It has to be good since the hubby ate two bowls.

He doesn't eat soup! 

6 slices bacon
1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup) 
4 cups chicken broth 
3 medium potatoes, diced
1 package (1 oz) Ranch seasoning mix
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 oz sour cream
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
8oz Velveeta original cheese, cut into cubes
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (or more if you like)

In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes or until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon; set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Cook onion in bacon drippings over medium-high heat 6 minutes or until almost tender.

In 6-quart Dutch oven, add broth, ranch mix and potatoes. Mix in onions. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cook 10 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.

In a bowl, mix sour cream and heavy cream. Stir into broth. 

In small bowl, beat cornstarch and water with whisk. Beat cornstarch mixture into soup. Cook about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Add Velveeta cheese to soup. Stir until melted. Add 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar cheese. Stir until melted. Serve soup with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and reserved crumbled bacon.
