Description

Enjoy a spicy and cheesy comfort food with our Jalapeno Popper Soup – a fiery, creamy, and flavorful dish perfect for chilly days or when craving something spicy and savory. This Jalapeno Popper Soup combines fresh jalapenos, creamy cheeses, and rich broth for a satisfying meal that will impress everyone at your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 large fresh jalapenos, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add sliced jalapenos and sauté for 5-7 minutes until peppers soften.
  3. Pour in chicken or vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Add cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and well incorporated. Blend the soup to your desired consistency using an immersion blender or leave it chunky.
  5. Stir in sour cream and season with salt, pepper, and optional spices such as cumin or chili powder.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese, green onions, bacon, or any preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For a milder soup, remove seeds from jalapenos before slicing.
  • Use vegetarian-friendly cheeses if making it vegetarian.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently on stove or microwave, adding broth or milk if needed to thin the soup.
