How is your weather today?
I feel like Spring weather is always so crazy! Do you need a nice bowl of warm comfort food like this, Cream Cheese Chicken Soup or a cool popsicle? We are currently on a Spring Break vacation and look what we woke up to…
SNOW!! It was a winter wonderland outside!
We usually go to Florida or Hilton Head for Spring Break, so this is quite the adventure for us! My boys are LOVING it though! Tomorrow we are headed into explore New York City, hopefully the weather will cooperate! I was going to share something else with you today but all this snow has gotten me in the mood for a warm bowl of soup and I recently re-photographed my FAVORITE soup. So–let me remind you about this gem from the archives…Cream Cheese Chicken Soup! This soup is just a big bowl of comfort! Whenever I have a friend in need of a nice of dinner, this is soup is the meal like to bring over. Warm, creamy, hearty and hits the spot every time!
I think I will make it tonight in our little vacation condo, using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. At home I would use chicken cooked using this method for shredded chicken in the Instant Pot from frozen chicken breasts. Either way, this soup is always so good and a family favorite at our house.
Enjoy and Happy crazy Spring–Ha!

Yeah! I am so happy to hear that! It is one of our favorites too!
We had this for dinner tonight and my whole family loved it, even my son who won’t eat soup loved it! My soon to be married daughter requested the recipe for herself.
I am so glad!! We LOVE it too! Thanks for letting me know! xoxo
This soup is fabulous! It is one of our favorites, too. Thanks!
Our family really enjoyed this hearty, yet comforting soup. It was perfect for a blustery Spring day.
Just tried this one today and LOVED it!
We had this one too. Delicious! Thanks!
I made this tonight and it was delicious! My family loved it. I used canned chicken (drained and added after the vegetables had softened) and it worked out great. I also added celery when I was sauteing the onion. Thanks to you and your sisters for sharing your tried and true recipes…EVERY one I have tried has been wonderful!
What a wonderful soup . . . and just in time for fall! 🙂
This recipe sounds awesome… but anything with cream cheese is good in my book!
I love your recipes! Made this soup tonight, it was delish. (Mine didn’t thicken up as much as expected, but Mr. was hungry NOW so maybe I coulda let it cook a bit longer…or maybe I added too much water.) But the taste was FAB! Thanks!
That looks delicious. I love fall and just crave soups right now! I’ve been following your blog for awhile now…and have bookmarked so many of your recipes to try. Check out my blog for an award!
I made this soup for a friend who was sick, too. It is really yummy!
MMMm–I LOVE this soup too! It is a such a comfort food dish! I like to bring this to people when they are sick or recovering from something and need a warm meal.
This soup looks great! I think I am going to make it tonight. I am taking dinner to a family in my ward. The mom has cancer. this will be a perfect comfort food for them. Thank you!
