Patricia's Green Chile Soup

I thought it sounded great but had stew meat on hand vs chicken so I used that and cream of mushroom instead. I think cream of celery would’ve also been good. I also added cilantro while cooking as well as garnished with it afterwards. I also used lime flavored tortilla chips with mine and so did my boyfriend. All in all, it was a super easy hit for my family. Not too spicy but still so flavorful.

Can’t wait to take it to the chili party tomorrow!!!!! Yummm

It's a good base but I made quite a few changes. I doubled the recipe because the original does not make a very big batch. I added a bit more onion, red bell pepper finely chopped up, more green chile about half a cup more, a bunch of black pepper, I baked some chicken breast and shredded it and added it about a lb., cilantro, some chicken broth to thin it out a bit. I don't think I would have been happy with the original but with my add in it was very good. I would recommend this recipe but most definitely tweak to your personal liking!

A nice mild creamy chili soup that is easy to make for one or two people. You could easily add in extra spices or herbs and maybe even a can of beans if you desire. I put in one chopped jalapeno pepper and some shakes of Mexican oregano, and dried parsley for some extra flavor. I was delighted to see other reviews that used canned green chilies since fresh are not in the markets this time of year. I let it gently simmer for about an hour to allow for the flavors to release. I'm sure I'll make it again and hopefully have fresh chilies next time, although it was very good with the canned chilies.
