1
In a large pot, saute onion in bacon grease until onions are translucent. Add chicken stock and salsa, and bring to boil.
2
While soup is heating, soften cream cheese in the microwave until just melted. Grate the other cheese(s). Add to the pot as soon as soup begins to boil. Reduce heat a little and stir frequently until cheese is melted and well mixed in. A whisk might be needed to get the cream cheese fully blended.
3
Add chicken, diced green chiles, cilantro, and seasoning. Simmer 15 minutes to let flavors blend.
4
Serve with garnish as desired.

Notes:
6
If you can't find Tostito's Chunky Salsa with Roasted Garlic, use a different brand and add some garlic powder or chopped garlic of your own. Garlic adds a lot to the flavor of this soup. There is enough salt in the salsa and cheese that no additional salt is needed in the soup.
7
This soup is also good made with ground beef instead of chicken.
8
Yields 6 servings of approximately 1-3/4 cup each.
