Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

¼ cup finely chopped yellow onion

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 (7-ounce) can fire-roasted green chiles, drained and chopped

1½ teaspoons ground cumin

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

3 cups chicken-style broth

1¼ cups half-and-half

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics

Place a large saucepan over medium-high heat and melt the butter.

Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring often, for 1–2 minutes, until softened.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

2. Add the Chiles and Seasonings

Stir in the chopped fire-roasted green chiles, cumin, and black pepper.

Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.

3. Build the Soup Base

Pour in the chicken-style broth and add the half-and-half.

Stir to combine.

4. Melt the Cheese

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the soup is hot and the cheese has fully melted into a smooth, creamy consistency.

5. Taste and Serve

Adjust seasoning as needed.

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
