Chicken, Spinach and Cream Cheese Soup

This is one of my most favorite soups.  It is creamy with cream cheese and thickened milk....and heart with small chunks of chicken.  And the spinach...well the spinach just tops it all off and is good for you!  Try this one, you won't be disappointed.

Chicken, Spinach and Cream Cheese Soup

3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into very small cubes
4 Tbsp. of frozen spinach chopped finely
1 large chicken breast, cut into tiny cubes
1/4 small onion, finely diced
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup chicken broth
3 Tbsp. cream cheese
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
2 Tbsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. real butter
3 cups water

In deep pan, add 3 cups of water and 1 cup of chicken broth.  Peel and dice 3 medium potatoes into small cubes.  Bring to a boil and boil just until the potatoes are tender.  Add spinach and boil another 3 to 5 minutes. 

In the meantime, in a small skillet, sauté the chicken breast cubes and onion in 2 Tbsp. real butter.  Add to mixture along with the salt and pepper.  Reduce heat, add in cream cheese and whisk slowly until it is completely melted.  Add the evaporated milk and simmer for another 5 minutes until milk is good and hot.  Do not boil! 

In a small cup, add 1/4 cup water and 3 heaping Tbsp. cornstarch.  Beat together well.  Turn off heat and immediately stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until it is thick and ready to serve!

Mmmm this is so good!
