Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers. Cook until onions are translucent and peppers are softened.
- Add minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
- Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any golden bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Add softened cream cheese in small chunks. Whisk until fully incorporated, turning the liquid into a pale, creamy orange hue.
- Lower the heat to its lowest setting. Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir in a circular motion until the cheese is smooth and velvety.
- Season with salt to taste. Serve hot with sour cream, avocado slices, and tortilla chips.
