Jalapeno cream soup is a creamy and spicy comfort food that warms the heart, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4–5 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped (adjust based on your spice preference)
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen) for a sweet crunch (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin for a warm, earthy flavor (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or Monterey Jack) for extra creaminess (optional)
  • Chopped green onions for a fresh finish (optional)
  • Crushed tortilla chips for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapenos, cooking for another 2-3 minutes while stirring frequently.
  3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool slightly and blend in batches.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add any optional ingredients like cumin or cheese at this stage.
  6. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and any other desired toppings.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half or coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Be cautious when blending hot liquids to avoid splatters.
  • Letting the soup sit for a few minutes off the heat can enhance the flavors.
