Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized chunks and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts into the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the diced potatoes and ranch seasoning mix. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
