Real Texas Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Cream Soup

In Texas we cook a lot with Jalapenos.  Usually the Jalapenos add a hot and spicy flavor to any dish.  The Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Cream Soup tames the Jalapeno’s heat and enhances  flavor and is the perfect dish for a cold winter day. This recipe has been created from tasting the soup in a restaurant and I hope I didn’t leave anything out.  If I did, then it’s a new recipe that I made up!

Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Cream Soup

3 cups sliced Jalapenos (I cut in half, then slice thin)

tip:  Wear rubber gloves!

1 onion diced

3 garlic cloves minced

1 qt heavy cream

1 qt half and half

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups cheddar cheese grated

1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 stick real butter

Saute the Jalapenos, onion and garlic in the butter until tender.  Combine the flour, pepper and salt and add to the sauted mixture.  Make sure to stir so it doesn’t lump. In a crock pot or slow cooker place the sauted mixture and add the the cream, half and half, chicken broth and cheddar cheese.  Stir to mix.  Cook at high for 1 hour, then low for approximately 4 hours or until all flavors are tasty.  You may need more salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with hot tortillas!  ummmmm, goood!

It’s a Real Texas recipe!
