How to Make Fiesta Crack Chicken Noodle Soup

Step 1: The Bacon Showdown

We’re kickin’ things off in a big way, my friends. Grab a large pot or Dutch oven, toss in that bacon, and crank up the heat to medium. Cook it until it’s sizzling and crispy, releasing all that glorious bacony aroma into the air. Once it’s crispy perfection, remove the bacon and let it chill on a paper towel-lined plate. But don’t get too comfortable, because we’re not done with this pot of magic just yet.

Step 2: Chicken Swagger

In that same pot, it’s time for the chicken to take the stage. Add those chicken pieces and let them sizzle away until they’re beautifully browned on all sides. We’re talking about locking in those savory flavors, so don’t rush it. Once they’re golden and gorgeous, set them aside for a hot minute. We’ll be reuniting them with the gang soon.

Step 3: Aromatics Galore

Still in the same pot (yep, we’re keeping it real and maximizing flavor), let’s sauté some diced onions and minced garlic. Cook ’em up until they’re fragrant and translucent.

Step 4: The Grand Assembly

Now, let’s bring everyone back together. Return the cooked bacon and those golden browned chicken pieces to the pot. It’s a reunion you won’t want to miss. Pour in the chicken broth, water, carrots, celery, spaghetti, and those diced tomatoes with green chilies. Give it a good stir, my friends, and let the flavors start to mingle. This is where the party truly begins!

Step 5: Simmer ‘n’ Blend

Crank up the heat and bring this glorious mixture to a boil. Once it’s bubbling away, reduce that heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer. We’re talking about letting those flavors meld, the spaghetti cook to tender perfection, and the veggies reach their full potential. It’s a beautiful thing.

Step 6: Creamy Dreamy Goodness

In a separate bowl, it’s time to work some magic. Combine that whole milk and the softened cream cheese. Mix it like you mean it, until it’s smooth, creamy, and irresistible. Now, add this luscious cream cheese mixture to the pot, along with the shredded Mexican blend cheese, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and don’t forget that salt and pepper. Stir it all together until those cheeses melt into a creamy symphony that’ll have you weak in the knees.

Step 7: Serve It Up, My Friends

Ladle that creamy, crack-infused chicken noodle soup into bowls, and don’t hold back on the garnishes. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of freshness, and don’t forget the lime wedges. A generous squeeze of lime over your bowl will elevate the entire experience to a whole new level of fiesta.
