Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole jalapeños
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh cilantro
- 1 cup (optional for garnish) tortilla strips
Instructions
Preheat your broiler on high. Place the jalapeños on a baking sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered on all sides.
Transfer the roasted jalapeños to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a lid to steam for 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove the seeds and stems, and finely chop the jalapeños. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the roasted jalapeños, heavy cream, and cream cheese to the pot. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Simmer the soup over low heat for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches before returning it to the pot.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth or heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and tortilla strips, if desired. Enjoy!
