Chicken Cream Cheese Soup

It is still soup weather around here and I found another winner!

I tried to get a friend to post this herself (since she found it first) but since I didn't I tried to recipe too!

It is really simple and really easy! Has great flavor and the whole family loved it!

Next time I think I will add celery to it! I am sure there are a lot of other vegies that would be good added too!

Chicken Cream Cheese Soup

(found on Sisters Cafe)

1 lb chicken (breasts or combination)

1 onion, diced

1-2 Tb butter

2 handfuls baby carrots (about 2 cups sliced small)

4-5 potatoes, diced small

1 c milk

1/4 c flour

8 oz package cream cheese

• 
  
  Put chicken in pot and cover with water; boil until cooked. Take chicken out of water but keep the broth. When chicken is cool, shred.


• 
  
  Saute onion in butter. Put onion in pot and add carrots and potatoes. Add 3-4 cups of broth or enough to cover vegetables. Add bouillon cubes or soup base for flavor (I add 4 bouillon cubes). Bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are tender.


• 
  
  Mix flour with milk and add to soup. Soften cream cheese in microwave then add to soup in little pieces and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
