Ingredients:
- 4–5 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 small onion, diced
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving a few tablespoons of bacon grease in the pot. - Sauté the Veggies:
Add the diced onion and jalapeños to the bacon grease. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook another 30 seconds. - Simmer the Broth:
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes. - Add the Creaminess:
Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Then add heavy cream, shredded cheddar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy. - Finish and Serve:
Let the soup gently simmer until thickened—about 5 more minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with crispy bacon and fresh chives.
