Ingredients

Scale

10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup (see notes below)
10.5 ounce can Pacific Foods Organic Condensed Cream of Roasted Garlic and Herb Soup (see notes below)
½ cup milk
2 Tablespoons dried parsley (optional)
1 Tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces (½ block) cubed cream cheese, softened to room temperature
4 ½-1 inch thick pork loin chops (bone-in or boneless)
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

In a 6 quart crock pot add 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup, 10.5 ounce can Pacific Foods Organic Condensed Cream of Roasted Garlic and Herb Soup, ½ cup milk, 2 Tablespoons dried parsley, 1 Tablespoon ranch seasoning mix, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until combined.
To the crock pot add 4 ounces (½ block) cubed cream cheese, softened to room temperature. Mix so the cream cheese is coated (it will be chunky, it will melt down more as it cooks).
Add 4 ½-1 inch thick pork loin chops to the crock pot. Coat the pork chops with the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours. The cooking time will take longer if the pork chops are thicker or if they are bone-in.
Move the pork chops to one side of the crock pot or transfer them to a plate. Then whisk the sauce really well to make sure the cream cheese is thoroughly melted mixed together with the sauce.
Note: it may still be a little lumpy which doesn’t affect the taste but if the look of if bothers you, you can take an immersion blender and blend it until there are no more lumps.
Optional: sprinkle 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley and a few red pepper flakes on top before serving. Make sure to spoon some of the gravy on top of each serving and enjoy!
