Originally I had planned this soup for Christmas Eve. Since we have a wonderful dinner of snacks with my mom (and it was amazing) I wanted something light but tasty for a late lunch. Well, I had many things on my list for Christmas Eve that had to get done and making soup did not make the cut! Instead it got put off for a bit and I finally made it about a week ago. This Creamy Chicken Pasta Soup did not disappoint. Granted, my recipe is not the same as the original! I had "cream cheese" on my grocery list and, thinking it was for my bagels, I bought Honey Pecan Cream Cheese. Oops - it was for this soup and should have been plain! So, I totally tweaked it and instead of cream cheese I threw in a handful of fresh parmesan and I added a full cup of heavy cream instead of just the 1/2 cup. As it cooked it seemed like it needed more moisture so I added 2 cups of milk. It was perfect. We did not miss the cream cheese at all and I think the soup might even be better without it!
