This Chicken Chile Verde Soup really hits the spot when I’m looking for a hearty soup with a little kick. The two greatest things about this soup are that some of the time I use a store bought rotisserie chicken and the other is you can dump it all into one pot and walk away.

Too Spicy?
I tend to like my food with the added kick. This Chicken Chile Verde soup is not too spicy, however if you must adjust that’s perfectly fine to do. If you like the Mexican flavor but want to dial down the spice use can use regular jack cheese. And sometimes you can’t find pepper jack cheese, so use regular jack cheese and toss in 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes or more if you dare!!!
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 28 oz chile verde sauce canned or jarred

- 1/2 cup cream
Instructions
