            Notes

            For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of hot sauce or fresh diced jalapeños during the simmering stage. For a milder profile, stick to the green chilies. You can use 2 percent milk instead of whole milk, though the soup will be slightly less rich. Transform this into a chicken queso soup by adding two cups of shredded rotisserie chicken at the end.
