Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use pickled jalapeños instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use pickled jalapeños if you prefer a tangy flavor. Just keep in mind that they’re less spicy than fresh jalapeños, so you may want to add more for heat. Drain them well before adding to the soup.
How can I thicken the soup?
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. Add this mixture to the soup and let it simmer until it thickens to your liking.
Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?
Yes! To make it in a slow cooker, sauté the bacon, onions, jalapeños, and garlic in a skillet, then transfer everything to the slow cooker. Add the chicken broth and spices, and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Stir in the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
