Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place bacon in a Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and slightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon pieces on paper towels. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons bacon grease from pot.
- Melt butter in the pot with the remaining bacon grease over medium heat. Add onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno. Sautee until just softened, 5 or 6 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Whisk in flour and stir until completely incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Gradually whisk in Swanson(R) Unsalted Chicken Broth, stirring to prevent flour from clumping. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and green chilies; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until vegetables begin to soften, about 12 minutes
- Stir in frozen corn and chopped chicken. Add 1/2 cup of cooked bacon pieces. Add half and half; stir. Reduce heat to low; simmer very slowly until chicken and corn are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Stir in 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese until cheese melts.
- Pour soup into bowls and garnish with reserved bacon, grated Cheddar cheese, cilantro, and green onions.

I omitted the bacon, used only half the amount of cream, and used two shredded chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie and it was still amazing.

One of the best soups I’ve ever made! Followed exactly but could not find canned chillies so I used canned jalapeños chopped. I topped it with cheese and crushed taco chips

Excellent. Didn’t use the suggested spices (except garlic) because I added a half can of rotel and that was spicy enough for us. Also added a can of cream of potato soup with the grated cheese.

Delicious soup. The only thing I didn’t have was enough cheddar cheese, so I put Velveeta in the soup and cheddar as garnish. It was perfect. A bit labor intensiv e, but good!
