This Cheesy Soup with Chicken and Broccoli recipe is very delicious and uses cream cheese to make the flavor very gentle. This cheese soup is one of our family favorites and is warm and hearty during these cold and rainy winter times. It is also easy and quick to prepare.
This recipe does not use flour for thickening, so this soup is perfect for those who are trying to avoid gluten in their diet.
I am obsessed about eating healthy and when I am cooking for my family, I try to use as many organic ingredients as I can. For this soup, try to use as least organic cream cheese. Non-organic cream cheese typically contains a wide assortment of additives and gums and we don’t want those ingredients in our soup.
Ingredients:
– 1 Chicken breast
– 1 package cream cheese 8 Oz
– 1/2 cup rice
– 3 medium potatoes
– 1 medium carrot
– 1 small onion
– 1 cup finely cut broccoli
– Salt and Pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
