Every weekend, I post a tried and true recipe (for my family at least) that has ten or less ingredients. Follow this link for more under 10 recipes
When The Tall One was in high school, I believe, he had some wonderful green chile soup at a restaurant and then created this recipe.
Cream of Green Chile Soup
1 dozen roasted green chiles, chopped OR 4 small cans of diced green chiles32 oz chicken broth
1 sm onion, chopped2 c. cream OR milk8 T margarine
1/2 cup flour
cilantro (optional)bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
shredded cheese (optional - Acadero or Monterey Jack is best)
Melt margarine, saute onion and then stir in flour. Add broth and stir well. Bring to a full boil. Add chiles and continue to boil until onions are thoroughly cooked. Blend the mixture in a blender and return to pan. Add cream or milk. Reheat, but do not boil. Garnish with cheese, bacon, and cilantro if desired. Serve with quesadillas or another favorite Mexican food dish.
This makes quite a bit. For just TTO and I, we'll usually half it and it is plenty for one meal.
