Marry Me Chicken Soup

Marry Me Chicken is one of my FAVORITE dishes and when I found a soup recipe inspired by it, I asked zero questions. I did find that I wanted to add more broth than the original recipe called for and I also don think the cream cheese is 100% necessary. It looked perfectly creamy without it, BUT I wanted to give the original recipe a shot. But do what sounds best to you!!
