Ingredients:
2 cups grilled chicken, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish
Directions:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the softened cream cheese, stirring until it melts and combines smoothly with the broth.
Incorporate the shredded grilled chicken, diced jalapeños, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the soup is heated through, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the soup.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions for an added touch of flavor.
