Method
 

How to Make Irresistible Creamy Jalapeno Popper Soup
  1. Begin by finely dicing fresh jalapenos, onion, and mincing the garlic. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside, leaving drippings.
  3. Add the diced onion and jalapenos to the drippings, sautéing until softened, around 4-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, stir well, bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer gently for approximately 10 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in the softened cream cheese until melted, then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted into the broth.
  6. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, topping with crispy bacon bits and cilantro, if desired. Enjoy hot with bread or tortilla chips.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and skip the bacon. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
