Slow Cooker Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Soup image

This recipe is the bomb. I don't normally make recipes twice, but this one I definitely would repeat, and I'd add more jalapenos. I made this on the stove and skipped the slow cooker, but I'll post ther ecipe as written. Recipe courtesy of Well Plated by Erin.

Time 5h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped (about a cup)
2 jalapenos, seeded and diced, plus additional jalapenos for serving
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
4 cups low sodium chicken or 4 cups vegetable broth
3 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 3/4 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, plus additional for serving, to taste
green onion, to taste, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large deep stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add the carrots, onion, and jalapenos and saute until just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the top of the vegetables, then cook an additional minute until lightly golden.
  • Slowly stir in milk and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 4 quart or larger slow cooker. Stir in the chicken stock, then add the chopped potato. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 hours on low.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and puree in batches until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender directly in the slow cooker.
  • Stir the cheese in a half cup at a time, allowing it to melt completely before stirring in the next half cup.
  • Serve garnished with jalapeno slices, green onions, and additional cheddar cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheesy flavor and don't even notice the jalapeños.

I love that this soup is so easy to make. I just throw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it do the work.

This is my go-to soup recipe when I'm feeling under the weather. It's always so comforting and helps me feel better.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. The cheese really mellows out the heat from the jalapeños.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add some chopped vegetables, like carrots or celery.

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, cheesy, and spicy. I love to serve it with a crusty bread or crackers.

Meh. It was okay, but not as good as I was hoping. The soup was a bit bland and the jalapeños didn't add much flavor.

Easy to make and delicious! I used sharp cheddar cheese and it gave the soup a nice tang. Will be making this again soon.

This soup is amazing! It's so creamy and cheesy, with just the right amount of spice from the jalapeños. I'll definitely be making this again.
