Directions: |
Directions:In a heavy soup pot brown chicken, onion, garlic in butter until the chicken is no longer pink. Add bouillon cubes, water, and cumin to the chicken mixture and bring to a boil. There is no heat in this soup. If you want to add a little heat now is
the time to add some chili powder or Tabasco sauce or whatever your favorite heat is. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for at least 5 minutes. You can simmer this soup at this stage for as long as you need. Add half and half, cheese, green chilies and corn, (I like to add about 1/2 cup of whole frozen corn also, I like the crunch). Cook this over low heat stirring constantly until the cheese is melted. Do not let the soup come to a boil at this point or you will break the sauce and it will turn grainy instead of creamy. Serve with your favorite toppings. Those above are my favorite. Makes about 2 quarts of soup. |
