It starts with a simple saute of carrots, celery, onion & garlic. The veggies are then simmered with chicken (or turkey) broth.
The addition of milk, flour and spices make the soup slightly creamy. Mild canned chiles are added too. It's not a *heavy* creamy soup- not made with whipping cream. It's not spicy either. You could certainly make it heavy creamy (add whipping cream) or hot and spicy (add chipotles in adobo).Corn, turkey, and cilantro are incorporated toward the end of simmering. Just before serving, a cup of Monterey Jack cheese is whisked in until melted. The cheese is what helps make this soup more on the creamy side. Don't you dare leave it out.
We liked this soup the way it was- we're not spicy kind of people. In fact, we loved this soup. Even the child in our house gobbled up every bite. It was very easy to do, and it will be a definite repeater.Great recipe for using that leftover turkey!
If you're celebrating Thanksgiving today, have a happy one!

i was thinking that a creamy mexican soup would be weird, but now that i know that it's the lovely jack cheese doing the creaming, i'm a-ok with it. :)
