Smoky Jalapeño Popper Soup with Grilled Chicken

Serving: This smoky, cheesy soup is perfect on its own or paired with a side of crispy bread, tortilla chips, or a fresh salad.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.

Variations
Add More Veggies: Feel free to add some diced tomatoes, corn, or bell peppers to the soup for more texture and flavor.

Spicy Kick: If you love extra heat, throw in more jalapeños or some serrano peppers for an added punch.

Swap the Cheese: Try using a blend of cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.

Tips for Perfect Soup
Control the Spice Level: If you’re sensitive to heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeños or use fewer peppers to dial down the spice level.

Creamy Texture: For an extra creamy soup, make sure the cream cheese is softened before adding it to avoid clumps.

Smoky Flavor: The smoked paprika is key to the signature smoky flavor—don’t skip it!

Enjoy this rich, creamy Smoky Jalapeño Popper Soup with all the delicious flavors of a jalapeño popper in a comforting bowl!
