How to make jalapeño popper chicken soup:
Add the chicken, onion, bell pepper, jalapeños (reserve some for topping), cumin, paprika, salt and black pepper to a 6-8 quart crock pot.
Cover the ingredients with the chicken broth.
Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken shreds easily.
Remove the chicken, shred and stir it back into the crock pot.
Add the cream cheese, bacon (reserve some for topping), heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of the shredded cheese into the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low until the cheese melts.
Serve warm topped with the remaining jalapeños, bacon and shredded cheese. Enjoy!
Notes:
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Make sure to cook soup on low once the cheeses are added to the crock pot to prevent the cheese from curdling.
You can lessen or add more jalapeños depending on how spicy you want this crock pot chicken soup.
Tips for this jalapeño poppers chicken soup recipe:
- Use a spoon to easily deseed the jalapeño peppers.
- Check out this tip on how to make shredding the chicken for this recipe even easier with a hand held mixer.
- Once you have added the cream cheeses and cooked it through, uncover and start stirring until the cheeses are well incorporated.
- If you are sensitive to spicy food, reduce the jalapeño peppers in half. Taste test the soup once it’s finished and you can add more jalapeño peppers to the top of the soup if more spice is wanted.

Made this soup tonight. It was delicious. It’s a keeper
Love this soup! So easy and the perfect comfort soup.
I just love this dish as did the family
Christmas dinner is now a Mexican dinner. This soup was a hit and a lot easier to make the. The individual poppers and more people had opportunity to taste. The level of spicy was just right.
I don’t add this time. I would cook all the ingredients except for the cheeses on high pressure in the instant pot for 25 minutes with a quick release. Then switch the instant pot to the sauté setting and mix in the cream cheese. Heat until the cheese is melted and then stir in the cooked bacon from there. I hope you enjoy it!
Are there instant directions for this?
Fabulous!!! Love this creamy soup with some crusty sourdough.
It’s that time of the year and there’s no better way to celebrate cold weather than 8 quarts of Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili (ours is really thick). I will save about 48oz and freeze the rest in quart size containers. It freezes well, make recipe completely, don’t omit anything, cool containers in fridge with loose lid. Once chili & container is cold, cap and place in freezer. I leave an inch at the top of chili before freezing. Whatever you do, don’t take a bite of the soup in the small containers before freezing. Just one dip of spoon, fork or knife with saliva on it will make your chili/soup flavorless and runny when you thaw it out.
I’m so glad you loved it!
I made this today. Its awesome. It’s a keeper. Everyone loved it. I drained the beans and made it like a stew. The house smelled heavenly while cooking
I am getting a new crockpot tomorrow and this is the very first thing I’m making. It looks amazing.
I would just add the cream cheese to the one that you are eating now and do not add it to the leftovers. I would add it when you heat it up to serve it. Thank you!
Hi! I’ve got this cooking now! I’ve doubled the batch and wondered how well it stores? If I should add the cream cheese to all of it now or store half of it without and add the cheese when We eat it later?? Thoughts?
This is a great recipe. I’ve made it several times and people love it.
Great recipe. I’m not a huge beans fan, so will probably cut that back to 1 can next time! Thanks!
