Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 jalapeno peppers, diced
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• ½ (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
2. While bacon is cooking, melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add jalapeno peppers and garlic; cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken broth, dried cilantro, Cajun seasoning, and onion powder; stir up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add chicken. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Add cream cheese, most of the Cheddar cheese, and heavy cream; simmer, stirring occasionally, until cheese has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve soup with remaining cheese. Crumble bacon on top.
