Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 large ribs celery diced
- 7 oz diced green chiles drained
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 large carrots peeled and finely diced
- 1 cup frozen sweet corn
- 2 cups shredded chicken think rotisserie!
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
optional toppings-
- cheddar cheese freshly grated
- sour cream dollopped
- cilantro fresh, chopped
- tortilla chips broken into bite sized pieces
- green onions diced
Instructions
- Heat large pot over medium heat. Melt butter and saute onions and celery until onions are translucent, 5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and green chiles and saute 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, salt and black pepper and bring to boil.
- Cover pot with well fitting lid and reduce to simmer. Simmer soup 10-15 minutes and then remove from heat.
- Using an immersion blender*, puree soup and return to heat. Stir in carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes (I chopped mine pretty small). Stir in frozen corn and shredded chicken.
- Place flour into small bowl and slowly whisk in cream to prevent lumps. Pour this mixture into hot soup and cook until it thickens slightly.
- Taste and re-adjust seasonings adding more salt and black pepper, if needed.
- Serve hot with any desired toppings.

Notes
- *If you don't have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup mixture to a regular blender, being careful to vent well so the hot mixture doesn't explode.
