Notes

Crockpot Method
I would use uncooked chicken thighs (try 4 of them) or chicken breasts (try 2 of them), and cook the soup for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. I recommend chicken thighs if cooking on low since they’re less likely to dry out.
Add in the cream cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Ensure it’s set on “high”.
