1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeños. Sauté until softened and fragrant.

2. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pot and brown on all sides. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

3. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

4. Stir in the heavy cream, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. Add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the pot, stirring until melted and creamy.

6. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

Adjust spice levels by varying the amount of jalapeños used.

For a lighter version, substitute part of the heavy cream with low-fat milk.
