Notes

RECIPE TIPS

Use Leftover Chicken: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover roast or BBQ chicken.
Soften Cream Cheese: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy melting. Add cream cheese a little at a time to prevent curdling.
Adjust Consistency: If the soup is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
Make It Ahead: Prepare the soup ahead of time and reheat when ready to serve for a quick meal.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Freeze in one large container or individual portions for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating: Gently reheat on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Toppings: Customize with your favourite toppings: grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole, tortilla strips or corn chips, sliced jalapeños, chopped coriander or lime wedges.
