Here is the soup I was telling you about! Good luck it is really yummy. you can always add more red pepper if you like it a little spicy.
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 large onion
6 oz diced green chiles
28 oz tomatoes
6 oz cream cheese
1 14 oz can of chicken broth
1 1/2 c half and half (I actually use milk)
4 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
tortilla chips
1/4 c green onions
1 1/2 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
Saute onion in butter until tender. Add chilies and tomatoes; cook 8 to 10 minutes. Add cream cheese; stir until melted. Add chicken stock, milk, and spices, and lemon juice. Stir together and bring soup to desired temperature. Serve with tortilla chips, onions, and cheese on top.
When I make this I often use fresh tomatoes and put them in the blender to chop them up so there are no chunks. I experiment with how many tomatoes that takes. It does not have to be exact. I rarely use the green onions as garnish because I do not have them. I also add a can of black beans, cooked chicken, and corn to my soup. All my kids love this.
