CREAMY GREEN CHILE CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE



Creamy Green Chile Chicken Soup Recipe image

Provided by dawnu1

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Tbs. canola oil
1/2 large onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 c. chicken stock
1 1/2 c. chicken, cooked and shredded
1 c. roasted green chile, diced
1 Tbs. flour
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. half and half
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 . tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about a minute, until fragrant. Add chicken stock, raise heat and bring to a boil. When stock is boiling, remove 1/2 c. of broth and let it cool. To the boiling broth, add shredded chicken and green chile. After reserved broth is cool, add 1 Tbs. of flour to it and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture back into the boiling broth and mix well. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, add the cream cheese. Gradually add the half and half, whisking constantly. This is so the mixture won't be as clumpy when you add it to the soup; if it's a little clumpy, don't worry because it will end up melting into the soup. Add the cream cheese mixture gradually into the soup, whisking constantly. When cream cheese mixture is added, reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer the soup for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the soup thickens. Do not boil. Ladle soup into bowls and enjoy! *Serve with warm flour tortillas if possible

Tips:

  • Use a variety of green chiles. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include Anaheim, poblano, and serrano peppers.
  • Roast the green chiles before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them less spicy.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can make your own by simmering chicken bones in water for several hours.
  • Add some corn to the soup. This will give it a little sweetness and crunch.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro. This will add a nice finishing touch to the soup.

Conclusion:

This creamy green chile chicken soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you have some leftover chicken, be sure to give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
