Somersizing Chicken Queso Soup

Somersizing Chicken Queso Soup


1. Melt butter over med. high heat. Saute onion in butter until translucent.

2. Add green chiles and tomatoes (do not drain either one) and cook, stirring constantly, until about half of the liquid is evaporated.

3. Add cream cheese and cook until melted, stirring constantly.

4. 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).

5. Add chopped chicken and heat until warmed through. Do not boil.

6. Serve, garnishing each portion with chopped green onions and chopped cilantro.

7. According to the original poster, the garnish is a must for this soup. All the fresh ingredients give it a "crunchy kick.".

8. Non-Somersizers can also garnish with either cut-up & fried tortilla strips OR crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos.
