  1. In a large pot, let butter melt on medium high until foamy.

  5. Stir in stock and velveeta and bring to a rapid boil.
  6. Reduce heat to simmer 10 minutes.
  7. Turn heat off and stir in heavy cream, parmesan, salt, and pepper whisking as you add into the soup.

  9. Add the pre-cooked boiled chicken to the soup and stir to combine.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
