Low-Carb Chicken Queso Soup Recipe for Healthy Eating

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I don't generally review recipes, but this soup was so good I must make an exception. Rich and creamy, with lots of flavor. The diced chilies gave it some heat without overwhelming all the other flavors. I made it pretty much as written with the exception of substituting shrimp for chicken, since I had some thawed out and needed to use it. I would definitely use shrimp again, it was a good switch. My spouse, who was sceptical at first, went back for seconds.
