Cream Cheese Chicken and Vegetable Soup
2 Tbsp butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 cup carrots, sliced
6 cups chicken broth
5-6 potatoes, chopped
1 cup milk

Melt butter in a large pot. Add onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 4 minutes or until tender. Add broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Whisk into soup. Continue stirring until soup starts to thicken slightly. Add softened cream cheese to the soup in Tbsp-size pieces. Stir until cream cheese melts. Add chicken and heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
