ingredients
3 corn tortillas (6 inch size)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup fresh poblano chile pepper, seeded and minced
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup half and half
1/8 cup cooked and chopped chicken
1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup fresh poblano chile pepper, seeded and chopped
6 corn tortillas (6 inch), cut into strips and toasted for garnish
directions
Cut the corn tortillas into ninths, place into a food processor and chop until fine. Add the flour, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend until tortillas become the consistency of cornmeal. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, combine the oil, onion, 1/2 cup poblano chile peppers and garlic and saute for 5 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
Add the butter or margarine and allow it to melt. Add the ground tortilla mixture to the pot and stir well with a wire whip to form a roux. (Note: Do not let it burn.)
While stirring, slowly add the chicken stock. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the pot. Add the half-and-half, bring to a slow simmer and cook for 7 to 10 minutes. (Note: Do not let soup come to a hard boil.)
Turn off heat and allow soup to cool slightly. Stir in the chicken before serving. Top each serving with the cheese, poblano chile peppers and tortilla strips for garnish.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This is a delicious unique tasting soup! I've brought it to functions and everyone wants the recipe. It freezes well, too. I made a triple batch and froze it in smaller containers.
