Cooking: Set the crockpot to cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, warm the cream cheese with the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth in the microwave until the cream cheese is warm. Alternatively, you can warm it up on the stovetop. Whisk it together until smooth.
