"This is adaptedfrom Allrecipes but I have made a couple minor amount adjustments to the recipe, original recipe called for 8 tablespoons butter, I don't feel the need for the extra 4 tablespoons so I have reduced it to 4 tablespoons and I added in some onion powder. jalapenos can be used instead of the green chilies I sometimes use both"

Que Sabroso!! My family enjoyed the "chile relleno" flavor of this dish. I used a combination of Cheddar and Queso Fresco because that is what was on hand. I took your suggestion and did add an additional can of chiles. Wow!! We loved it and will make it again. Thanks Donner56!

With the addition of the parmesan cheese it made the soup taste so delicious. A little spicy, which I loved! I had it for lunch and loved it!
