Disclaimer: I do not normally measure any of my ingredients, but these are the measurements on the recipe that I have. I usually use about half the amount of cream cheese that it calls for, but if cream cheese is your thing, then go for it! You can alter the recipe to your taste by adding or deleting pretty much anything....I always like to throw in some extra vegetables.
Cream Cheese Chicken Soup
Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3 cups chicken broth
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
Directions:
In a large saucepan, saute the onion in butter. Add broth, carrots and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add the chicken, parsley, salt and pepper; heat through. Combine flour and milk until smooth; add to the vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat. Add the cream cheese; cook and stir until melted. Yield: 8 servings.

Oh. that sounds goooood.
My daughter is lactose intolerant, I wonder what I could use as a replacement for the cream cheese. I replace soy milk for milk all the time, but I've never attempted cream cheese. hmm...
Or I could just make her something different.
That sounds really good! I'm gonna add it to my menu for next week. Hopefully my picky eaters will love it like your Savannah! :)
Oh good! I have all these ingredients on hand. I'm going to go make it.
Looks and sounds yummy. I think I'm going to have to try it.
That sounds SO good! You can't go wrong with cream cheese! :)

Delicious! My family loved it. I used the all of the cream cheese, but I could see how it might be better with a little less.
I'm going to make this tomorrow...I'm sure Dad will love it! Mom
This looks delicious!!
