Chicken Queso Soup

http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2011/02/chicken-queso-soup.html

In a pinch, this is just as good with a couple of cups of salsa instead of the chilies and tomatoes

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbs oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 small can diced green chilies
  • 2 – 14ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 ounces fat free cream cheese, cut into chunks, and room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus a little extra for topping
  • 3-4 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • tortilla chips for topping
  1. In a larger pan saute onion in oil until tender and lightly browned.
  2. Add chilies, tomatoes, broth, cumin, and red pepper.
  3. Cook on low for 10-15 minutes. Then add cream cheese, milk, and chicken. And cook until heated through.
  4. Stir in shredded cheese and serve, topped with chips and cheese.
