Soup is such a comfort food. Manuel's Cafe y Bar on Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas makes this soup and everyone raves about it! It's wonderful served with crusty cornbread sticks.

I remember several years ago, this recipe was written up in the Austin American Statesman, and it's been a big hit among my friends since then. Having just moved before the holidays, I couldn't find the box with the clipping and was very relieved to find it here on the 'zaar. My only addition to the recipe..Do stir it constantly, with all that dairy, it will scorch and if it does, throw it out. The other little trick, bring it just up to boiling, then down to a simmer. Like a Hollandaise, you can "break" this soup and the ingredients won't blend. Thanks Julie in TX.

    This is a well written, easy to follow recipe. It uses ingredients I always have. It was very fast and simple to put together. The result was a delicious soup! I used the canned chilies. I tasted it after it had simmered about 5 minutes and added a bit more cilantro and a few more chilies. This is a keeper. Thank you Julie for sharing this recipe with us!
