💡Tips
1. Let The Cream Cheese Soften First
Take your cream cheese out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before starting the recipe. Room temperature cream cheese melts much more smoothly into the broth and helps prevent those annoying lumps from forming.
If you forget to do this, cut the cold cream cheese into small cubes – they’ll melt faster and more evenly.
When you add it to the broth, start whisking right away and keep going until it’s completely smooth. If you still see tiny lumps, lower the heat and keep whisking – they’ll eventually dissolve.
2. Don’t Rush The Melting Process
Keep your heat on low when melting the cream cheese into the broth. High heat might seem faster, but it can cause the cream cheese to separate or become grainy. Patience is key here – use low heat and whisk constantly.
You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture looks completely smooth and silky, with no white specks or lumps floating around. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes of constant whisking.
3. Choose The Right Broth
The broth makes a big difference in this recipe since it’s such a simple soup. Use a high quality chicken broth – homemade is best, but if using store bought, look for one with no added vegetables or seasonings to keep it carnivore friendly.
Check the ingredients list carefully. The broth should be a nice golden color and smell really chickeny.
If your broth is particularly salty, you might want to reduce the amount of added salt in the recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken works perfectly in this recipe and actually makes the whole process much faster.
Just remove the skin (unless you want to keep it), shred the meat, and measure out 12 ounces.
Can I make this soup thicker?
Yes, there are a few ways to make the soup thicker. The easiest way is to add more cream cheese – start with an extra 2 ounces and adjust from there.
Another option is to let the soup simmer for a few extra minutes while whisking – this will reduce the liquid and make it thicker naturally.

This looks quite yummy, but there is no print option on the recipe card! I will have to hand write it or lug my desktop into the kitchen (not!). Just a suggestion it would be nice to be able to print the recipe. I will try it, though, but probably on stovetop.
Hi, I added the print button to all the recipes. Thank you!
This recipe is excellent! I have my first bowl in front of me right now. I made it with a big crock-pot full of homemade chicken broth that I made with chicken backs. I added the same amount of cream cheese the recipe called for, so mine turned out a bit less creamy, but still delicious and loaded with chicken. Love it! Thank you so much for all the wonderful recipes 🙂
