SOUTHWESTERN CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP



Southwestern Cream of Chicken Soup image

Nothing beats chicken soup, whenever! Few foods are easier to make, more impressive to serve, or comforting to eat than soup. Especially the thick, creamy kind. Falling into three catehories -- cream soups, pureed soups, and bisques or chowders -- with this recipe, you'll be well on your way to decadent dinners in a bowl. This Southwestern Cream of Chicken Soup is thickened with a roux before adding cheese for texture and flavor. When adding cheese, even a great meltting one like pepper Jack, separatng is possible -- so here's is how to avoid it: (1) Don't let soup boil the cheese will break up & curdle.. (2) Use an acid like wine or beer to help prevent curdling. (3) Be sure to use whole milk. Its high milk fat content means it's less likely to curdle.:) Try this spiced-up version with tortilla or pita chips for dipping. CuisineAtHome - Issue 83 - October, 2010.

SOUTHWESTERN CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE - (5/5)



Southwestern Cream of Chicken Soup Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by á-2063

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of butter
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 cup of sweet yellow onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
6 tbsp flour (divided)
3 cups of low fat milk
2 cups of chicken broth ( or 1 cup chicken stock + 1 cup beer)
1/2 cup dry converted white rice
2-3 cups of jack cheese, shredded
2 cups of roasted chicken, chopped
2 tbsp of fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime slices

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, poblano pepper, onion, chili powder, cumin, coriander, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Sweat the mixture for 5-6 minutes or until the veggies begin to soften. Add the minced garlic, and stir constantly for 1 minute. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour to coat vegetables and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth and milk (and beer) then whisk until smooth. To prevent lumps, make sure to whisk the milk into the vegetables and flour in a slow, steady stream. Add the rice and let simmer (DO NOT LET IT BOIL) for 15-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Combine the cheese with the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour in a zip lock bag; toss to coat. Coating the cheese with flour before adding to the soup helps prevent the cheese from separating in the soup. Add the cheese to the soup a handful at a time, stirring to melt completely before adding the next handful. Add chicken and cilantro to heat, 3-5 minutes. Taste the soup and re-season if needed. Garnish each serving of soup with lime slices. Serve immediately
