Patricias Green Chile Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion until transparent. Stir in the garlic, green chiles, chicken meat, and cumin. Cook for one minute to blend the flavors. Stir in the cream of chicken soup and half-and-half. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Ladle hot soup into bowls. Top with cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine onions, garlic, 1 cup corn kernels, 2 cans of the chiles, chicken stock, and Mexican seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining corn and green chiles. Add mushrooms and saute for 10 minutes, or until water from mushrooms is released and evaporated; set aside.
• Transfer chile mixture to a blender. Puree until smooth, working in batches if necessary. *(TIP: Cover blender with dish towel and pulse.) Return puree to skillet and add sauteed vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat and stir in Mexican crema. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Serve soup hot garnished with cilantro and cotija cheese.

Steps:

• In large stainless kettle, brown pork in bacon fat or vegetable oil.
• (bacon fat has better flavor.) Cook on medium heat till meat is slightly pink.
• Add diced onion and garlic, cook till soft.
• Add flour and stir, browning flour as you would a roux (rue).
• Add some of your water if flour is too thick, keep stirring till it bubbles.
• Add chicken broth.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low.
• Cook uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• If your chile is too thin, add more flour.
• If your chile is too thick, add more chicken broth.
• Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking!
• If you do not like chunks of tomato or peppers, place the RoTel, tomatoes and canned diced green chile's into a blender and puree them!
• (This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my chile).

Steps:

• Put eggplant in colander, salt, and let drain while prepping the other ingredients.
• Saute onion, garlic, and bell peppers with olive oil in a large saucepan (4-5 qt).
• When onion mix has begun to soften, add flour and cook--stirring constantly--for 2-3 minutes.
• Add broth, potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, chilis, cumin, and salt and pepper.
• Simmer until potatoes are tender, and longer to develop flavors depending on how much time you want to keep it on the stove. Add more water/broth as needed to develop the desired consistency.
• Garnish with shredded cheddar and serve with warm tortillas.
