Notes

Recipe Tips & Tricks:
    • Cube the cream cheese first. To easily incorporate the cream cheese into the soup, cut it into small cubes before adding it to help it melt evenly and quickly. Or use softened cream cheese to make it blend into the soup effortlessly.
    • Taste the soup as it simmers to adjust seasonings as needed. The final taste will depend on how salty the vegetable and chicken broth are, so adjust as needed.
    • Consider cooking the pasta separately and adding it to individual bowls to prevent the pasta from becoming mushy if you have leftovers.
