Creamy Salsa Soup {Recipe}

Over here in my neck of the woods we are definitely starting to get some cool autumn days and nights...yay!  I so love Fall!  I even went so far as to pull out my skinny jeans, boots and a sweater, albeit a thin sweater.  :-)  My crockpot is starting to get a good workout and warm delicious soup is on my brain.  

Not too long ago I found this super easy 3-ingredient recipe for Creamy Salsa Soup in the latest issue of Everyday Food.  It was perfect timing for all the salsa I have been canning this summer!  See more about that here.  Of course a great store-bought salsa will do the trick too.

Creamy Salsa Soup (serves 2)

1 16 oz jar salsa

1 3/4 cup chicken broth

2 Tbsp heavy cream

salt and pepper 

In a medium saucepan, bring to a boil the salsa and chicken broth.  Transfer to a blender along with two tablespoons of cream and blend until smooth.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with crunchy croutons, parmesan cheese, avocado or corn chips.  

3 ingredients...I kid you not!

Pour the salsa and 1 3/4 cup of the chicken both into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.

Then I took my immersion blender and started blending it up right in the saucepan.  I love to cut out excess steps if I can, it's one less thing to clean in the end!

While you are blending, add in two tablespoons of heavy cream.  It's amazing what just a little bit of cream does to a soup...heavenly!

Then serve up your soup and season with a bit of salt and pepper.  

So simple and perfect for a cool Fall night!

Enjoy!
