Queso Fresco Soup image

A delicious soup using Mexican queso fresco, Hatch chiles, and potatoes. I use fresh frozen Hatch chiles but canned work in this recipe as well. A great soup to serve on those cold winter days. Easy and quick to make.

SOMERSIZING CHICKEN QUESO SOUP

Somersizing Chicken Queso Soup image

Another nice soup I am looking forward to trying from the Somersizing website. Looks great. For anyone that isn't familiar with Somersizing, you need to eat the right combination of healthy fats, protiens, carbs, etc. It's all about balance. ;) SuzanneSomers.com **I haven' tried this one yet, I am guessing on the servings.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
2 (4 ounce) cans green chilies, diced
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (Rotel can be used)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth
1 1/2 cups cream (you can use 1 cup cream and 1/2 c. water.)
4 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons garlic powder (start with 2 teaspoons and adjust accordingly)
2 teaspoons cumin (start with 2 teaspoons and adjust accordingly)
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (start with 2 teaspoons and adjust accordingly)
salt, to taste
1 -2 cup rotisserie-cooked chicken, shredded (can use breasts or tenders chopped)
1 bunch green onion, chopped (white part)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste)

Steps:

Melt butter over med. high heat. Saute onion in butter until translucent.
Add green chiles and tomatoes (do not drain either one) and cook, stirring constantly, until about half of the liquid is evaporated.
Add cream cheese and cook until melted, stirring constantly.
Add broth, cream, lemon juice and seasonings. (At this point, you can puree the soup with an immersion blender, but that's optional--it's good either way).
Add chopped chicken and heat until warmed through. Do not boil.
Serve, garnishing each portion with chopped green onions and chopped cilantro.
According to the original poster, the garnish is a must for this soup. All the fresh ingredients give it a "crunchy kick.".
Non-Somersizers can also garnish with either cut-up & fried tortilla strips OR crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos.

Tips:

Choose the right beer: A light-bodied beer with a mild flavor, such as a pilsner or a blonde ale, will work best in this soup. Avoid using a dark or hoppy beer, as it can overpower the other flavors.
Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breast can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or a Monterey Jack cheese are both good choices.
Serve the soup immediately: This soup is best served immediately after it's made. The cheese will start to solidify as it cools, so the soup will be less creamy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This chicken beer queso soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. The beer adds a subtle flavor to the soup, and the cheese makes it creamy and rich. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
