Pro Tips for the Perfect Crack Chicken Noodle Soup:

1. Even Cooking: Cut your vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly and are done at the same time.
2. Cream Cheese Technique: Let the cream cheese come to room temperature and cut it into small cubes for easier melting and incorporation.
3. Noodle Timing: Add the noodles near the end of cooking to prevent them from becoming too soft or mushy.
4. Bacon Crispiness: Cook the bacon until extra crispy, as it will soften slightly when added to the soup.
5. Storage Solution: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating gently to maintain the creamy texture.
