Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 8 ounces cream cheese opt for full-fat for the best texture
  • 1 cup heavy cream for a lighter version, use half-and-half or a milk-sour cream mixture

For the Soup
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken main protein source
  • 1 cup small pasta any small shape like shells or ditalini
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  2. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, cooking for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pot. Stir well and allow to simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes.
