Some folks say homemade chicken noodle soup helps battle a cold or the flu, but even doubters agree its comforting flavor has great appeal. This version serves a crowd and is creamy and rich without added cream.

It seemed like a good recipe, until I tried it at the end. It was very bland, even my 10 year old commented that there was no flavor (I don’t think he’s ever said that before haha). We added a bunch of herbs to it though and now it’s better.

This soup is easy to make and quite good. I used regular cream cheese, because I had it instead of the lower fat, so I can't speak as to whether that made a difference or not but the cheese makes a wonderful addition.
