- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 oz cream cheese

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

- Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks before returning it back to the pot.
- Mix in softened cream cheese until melted and thoroughly combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with optional cilantro or lime juice.
