Last week I was on a soup kick; I made two delicious soups during the week. It was a chilly week in Florida so I took advantage of it. Did you make any soups last week? If so, what kind did you make?
While browsing through a few blogs last week, I found a clam chowder recipe over at The Kitchen is My Playground that used cream cheese in the soup. I thought this was a pretty awesome idea so I wanted to make a soup that incorporated cream cheese into the ingredients. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, then you know I love spicy foods. If you haven’t been following long or if you’re new here, let me introduce myself. Hi, I’m Julie and I’m a spiceaholic! So of course, I decided to make a spicy soup. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Crock Pot Creamy Mexican Chicken Soup
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- 2 14.5 oz cans of chicken broth
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 C rice (I used Royal Blend Texamati, Brown and Wild rices)
- 1½ tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 C water
- ½ C milk
- 1 8oz container of chive cream cheese
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- Place the chicken, japapeno, onion, celery, chicken broth, diced tomato, rice and taco seasoning into a crock pot (I used a 6 qt slow cooker)
- Cook on low for 8-9 hours.
- Reduce the temperature to warm and stir in the cream cheese and milk.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
