1 finely sliced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
In a liter, four cups chicken stock
one fourteen-ounce can jalapeos, chopped
Approximately 475 milliliters, or 2 cups salsa verde for enchiladas
teaspoon of cumin
Adjust with salt and pepper, if desired.

oil from olives, 2 teaspoons
As an Addition:
Fresh green onions, sliced
Finely chopped cilantro
Optional: sliced jalapeños

Here are the directions:
With the heat set on medium, warm the olive oil in a big Dutch oven or soup pot. After a few minutes of sautéing, add the chopped onions and cook until they start to become translucent.

Incorporate the chicken stock, green enchilada sauce, chopped green chilies, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Allow the ingredients to combine by bringing the mixture to a boil, then lowering the heat to a simmer and cooking for around fifteen to twenty minutes.
Simmer the chicken until cooked through, then add the shredded chicken.
While the shredded cheese melts into the soup, stir in the heavy cream.
Add more salt or pepper to taste after tasting the soup.
