QUESO FRESCO SOUP

Queso Fresco Soup image

A delicious soup using Mexican queso fresco, Hatch chiles, and potatoes. I use fresh frozen Hatch chiles but canned work in this recipe as well. A great soup to serve on those cold winter days. Easy and quick to make.

SOMERSIZING CHICKEN QUESO SOUP

Somersizing Chicken Queso Soup image

Another nice soup I am looking forward to trying from the Somersizing website. Looks great. For anyone that isn't familiar with Somersizing, you need to eat the right combination of healthy fats, protiens, carbs, etc. It's all about balance. ;) SuzanneSomers.com **I haven' tried this one yet, I am guessing on the servings.

2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (Rotel can be used)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth

Add green chiles and tomatoes (do not drain either one) and cook, stirring constantly, until about half of the liquid is evaporated.
Add cream cheese and cook until melted, stirring constantly.
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).
Add chopped chicken and heat until warmed through. Do not boil.
Serve, garnishing each portion with chopped green onions and chopped cilantro.
According to the original poster, the garnish is a must for this soup. All the fresh ingredients give it a "crunchy kick.".
Non-Somersizers can also garnish with either cut-up & fried tortilla strips OR crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos.

CHICKEN CON QUESO SOUP

Chicken Con Queso Soup image

A recipe that is based on a few others I've seen, but I've modified it to be more my taste. Variations: You can leave out the chicken for a meatless option. You can also swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth to make a vegetarian version. For those watching calories/fat, fat free cream cheese can be used or neufchatel. Mild RoTel could be used if you're afraid of the heat/spice of original RoTel
