Slow Cooker Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Soup image

This recipe is the bomb. I don't normally make recipes twice, but this one I definitely would repeat, and I'd add more jalapenos. I made this on the stove and skipped the slow cooker, but I'll post ther ecipe as written. Recipe courtesy of Well Plated by Erin.

Time 5h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped (about a cup)
2 jalapenos, seeded and diced, plus additional jalapenos for serving
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
4 cups low sodium chicken or 4 cups vegetable broth
3 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 3/4 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, plus additional for serving, to taste
green onion, to taste, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large deep stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add the carrots, onion, and jalapenos and saute until just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the top of the vegetables, then cook an additional minute until lightly golden.
  • Slowly stir in milk and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 4 quart or larger slow cooker. Stir in the chicken stock, then add the chopped potato. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 hours on low.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and puree in batches until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender directly in the slow cooker.
  • Stir the cheese in a half cup at a time, allowing it to melt completely before stirring in the next half cup.
  • Serve garnished with jalapeno slices, green onions, and additional cheddar cheese.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed this soup. The cheddar cheese mellows out the heat from the jalapenos.

This soup is a bit spicy for me, but I still really enjoyed it. I added a little sour cream to cool it down.
