Ingredients in Jalapeño Popper Soup

Each ingredient here has a role to play in turning a classic snack into a cozy, filling meal. Exact measurements are in the recipe card below!

Chopped Bacon: Bacon brings that savory, crispy goodness, but if you prefer a lighter option, turkey bacon works just as well. I like to use pre-cooked bacon to make preparing this soup even easier. Deseeded Jalapeños: The fiery kick that makes the soup pop! Adjust the number based on your spice preference, or swap for milder peppers like poblano if you’re aiming for a tamer heat. Diced Onion: For some sweet and savory flavor. Shallots will also work. Minced Garlic: The flavor enhancer that brings that zing! Fresh garlic is a must, but in a pinch, garlic powder can do the trick. All-Purpose Flour: Used as a thickener. Low-Sodium Chicken Broth: The liquid gold that forms the soup’s flavorful base. You can also use vegetable broth or beef broth if that’s all you have on hand! It will just change the flavor a little. Half and Half: So the soup has a nice creamy texture without being too rich. Chopped Yukon Gold Potatoes: Yukon gold potatoes add a buttery, creamy texture to the soup. Softened Cream Cheese: The creamy ingredient that brings everything together. Shredded Cheddar: Adds richness, flavor, and the perfect melty texture! Salt and Pepper: Season to taste! Toppings: sliced jalapenos, bacon, and green onion, shredded cheese for garnish- the best finishing touch! Get creative and customize with your favorite toppings – maybe some crispy fried onions or a dollop of sour cream? Go wild and make it your own!
