Jalapeno Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• While bacon is cooking, melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add jalapeno peppers and garlic; cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken broth, dried cilantro, Cajun seasoning, and onion powder; stir up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add chicken. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add cream cheese, most of the Cheddar cheese, and heavy cream; simmer, stirring occasionally, until cheese has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve soup with remaining cheese. Crumble bacon on top.

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy pan over low heat. Add flour and stir 3 minutes. Mix in stock and cream.
• Increase heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet over low heat. Add onion, carrot and green pepper. Cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Mix in jalapenos.
• Add both cheeses to cream mixture and stir until melted. Mix in vegetables. Season with salt to taste and serve.
