Ingredients

1.5 pounds ground beef or sausage

1 cup onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

32 ounces beef or vegetable broth

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

3 (4-ounce) cans mild green chiles

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Optional thickener: 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon cold water

Instructions

  • Cook the meat: Brown the ground beef or sausage in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it apart. Drain any excess fat.

  • Sauté the vegetables: Add onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.

  • Season: Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  • Add broth: Pour in beef or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes.

  • Add cream cheese and chiles: Cut cream cheese into cubes and add to the pot. Stir until melted. Add green chiles and stir.

  • Add cheese: Gradually stir in shredded cheddar, letting it melt fully before adding more.

  • Thicken the soup (optional): Mix cornstarch and cold water, then add to the soup. Let it simmer for 5 more minutes.

  • Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot with tortilla chips or your favorite side.

Notes

To add more heat, use spicy green chiles or diced jalapeños.

For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with plant-based alternatives.

For a thicker soup, use cornstarch or skip for a lighter consistency.
