Cream Cheese Chicken Soup
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.
After tasting a similar soup in a restaurant, I went home and cooked up my own version. It's so soothing on a winter evening served with crusty French bread. For a change of pace, try substituting ham or turkey for the chicken. —Kathleen Rappleye, Mesa, Arizona
