Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics - Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced onion. Sauté it until it becomes translucent, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Then, toss in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Step 2: Simmer the Broth - Next, pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 3: Incorporate the Cream Cheese - Now, it’s time to add the cream cheese. Stir it in until it melts and becomes smooth.
Step 4: Add the Cheeses and Jalapeños - Once the cream cheese is fully incorporated, add the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 5: Prepare the Grilled Cheese Dippers - While the soup simmers, heat a skillet over medium heat for the grilled cheese dippers. Place a generous amount of mozzarella cheese between two slices of your favorite bread. Grill until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Finally, cut the grilled cheese into strips and serve them alongside your Spicy Jalapeño Popper Soup.
