This is great comfort food on a cold winter day.
Saute 1/3 an onion in a stick of butter.
Whisk in 1/2 C. flour.
Whisk in 5 cups of chicken stock.*
Simmer until thickened.
Add 1 cup of half and half.
Throw in 2 Tbs. of Chili Powder and 1 Tbs. each of Salt and Cumin.
Add 2 ts. Cayenne Pepper
Add a diced jalapeno. (Take out the seeds if you don't like a lot of heat.)
Add several cups of cooked, shredded chicken* and 1 C. cheese. ( I like the Kraft "Mexican Mix" for this.)
Top with cheese and tortilla strips.
* A recipe for stock and cooked chicken is here. If you're pressed for time, ready-made broth is fine. For the chicken, chunk up some chicken tenders and saute them in olive oil with a little onion, salt and pepper.
