If you love snacking on jalapeño poppers, you must try this delicious chicken soup recipe. This easy soup comes together quickly thanks to rotisserie chicken. The creamy factor comes in with a blend of milk, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar.

Test Kitchen Tip: Freshly-grated cheese from a block melts into recipes like this much easier than pre-shredded cheese. The packaged shredded cheese has additives that prevent it from sticking, making it less likely to achieve the creamy result you want.
