Jalapeño Popper Tomato Soup Recipe
Instructions:
Sauté Aromatics:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add Tomatoes and Broth:
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Blend the Soup:
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches, then return it to the pot.
Add Jalapeños:
Stir in the diced jalapeños, and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes. (For more heat, leave in the seeds or add extra jalapeños.)
Incorporate Cream Cheese:
Gradually whisk in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and smooth.
Add Cheddar Cheese:
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and continue stirring until melted and well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra shredded cheese, diced jalapeños, or crumbled bacon for a true jalapeño popper experience. Serve with crusty bread or tortilla chips for dipping.
This creamy and spicy twist on classic tomato soup is sure to be a hit, combining comforting flavors with a hint of heat. Enjoy! 🌶🍅🧀
