Join the discussionI’m a little confused… so I made the 3 bags and froze them. so when I want to make one, how much cream cheese do I use? 16oz per meal?
Amy, if each meal you froze is for 10 servings, you would need 16 oz for all 10 servings. However, if you divided that meal into 3, and only wanted to make one bag of it, you’ll only need 5.33 ounces of cream cheese (16oz/3). Does that help? We are always here and happy to help if you have more questions!
Is there any way to use milk in this recipe? If so, how much and is it still freezable?
Hi Jane, we wouldn’t recommend using milk with this soup, it will break down on your during the cooking process. Dairy is added at the end to help thicken the soup.
Can I substitute plain yogurt for the cream cheese?
Hi Lisa,
I’ve replaced cream cheese/ sour cream with greek yogurt before and have had good success but not traditional yogurt. So my suggestion would be to go with greek yogurt if you’re going to go that route. Report back and let us know how it turns out!
