Creamy Jalapeño Popper Soup

Print Recipe

A creamy and spicy soup inspired by the classic jalapeño popper, perfect for a cozy evening.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 3–4 fresh jalapeños, diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: In a large pot over medium heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy—around 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sauté the veggies: With the bacon still in the pot, stir in the diced jalapeños and let them sauté in that bacon fat for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Combine the chicken and broth: Toss in the shredded chicken and pour in your chicken broth. Stir and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Cream it up: Add the softened cream cheese in chunks and stir until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the heavy cream: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the garlic powder. Mix and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
  6. Season it right: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crispy bacon bits, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

For presentation, garnish with diced avocado and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with crispy tortilla chips or warm crusty bread.
