02

Step

26 mins

Add chicken broth, green chiles, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add chicken and simmer for 5 more minutes.

03

Step

1 mins

Remove from the heat and stir in Monterey Jack cheese and crema.

For a spicier soup, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
If you don't have Mexican crema, sour cream can be used as a substitute.
Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly in this recipe for a quick and easy meal.
