Cream Of Green Chile Soup

Ingredients:

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 4 cups roasted green chiles, peeled, seeded, and diced
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the roasted green chiles. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

3. Stir in the cumin and paprika, then reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes.

4. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender (in batches), blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Be careful when blending hot liquids.

5. Return the soup to the pot over low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Let the soup heat through but do not boil once the cream has been added, as it may cause the soup to curdle.

7. Serve the Cream Of Green Chile Soup hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
