2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

2 cups cooked skinless chicken breasts or 2 cups cooked turkey breast, chopped

8 ounces medium egg noodles

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2-3/4 cup chredded colby-monterey jack cheese

Directions:

2. Cut the cream cheese into small squares then add them to the pot along with the parmesan & chicken (or turkey).
3. Stir in the noodles & simmer for 10-12 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with a little water then stir into the pot.
4. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the soup thickens. Add the cheese then stir until melted.
