EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use a wire whisk to stir the soup after you add the cream cheese so the soup has a smooth consistency.

Stir in a 1-pound bag of frozen mixed vegetables (thawed and drained) with the cream cheese.

My family loves this soup. I have made it 3 times within a 2 month period. I substituted 2 cups of chicken broth instead of the water and bullion cubes, it gave the soup a better flavor.
