Ingredients
1 lb boneless chicken, cooked and shredded
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 oz cream cheese, softened
20 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, sautéing until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies and the chicken broth to the pot, bringing to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the softened cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, whisking until the base is smooth and the cream cheese has fully melted.
Add the shredded chicken and simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve hot, garnished with optional cilantro, avocado, or shredded cheese.
Notes
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to cut your prep time significantly.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent it from clumping in the broth.
Customize your bowl with extra toppings like lime wedges, fresh cilantro, or jalapeño slices.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
