Best Creamy Green Chile Stew

Hello Duke City -

I'm writing with a sense of deeply heartfelt irony. We live in Albuquerque yet it seems the city is tragically devoid of any sort of WHITE creamy chicken green chili stew. I don't want a brown, broth or clear soup, No sir. I want a white creamy stew. Despite looking high and low for this dish in Albuquerque I can't seem to find a Restaurant that has it. The Rally's next to Maloney's downtown closed and I haven't been able to find a substitute for my Monday and Wednesday soup fetish since then. I'm seriously going through deprevation anxiety.

Any suggestions?

O'Niell's used to have a killer creamy green chile chicken soup. I don't get out much anymore, but I haven't seen it there in forever. Anyone know if they still make it?

Kelly's on Central has an amazing creamy green chili chicken soup! You also might want to try Jimmy's restaurant on Jefferson and San Antonio. I love both although Jimmy's is definitely friendlier to your wallet.

I even know some old, old-timers who add a can of mushroom soup to chicken and green chile for this effect. It's how I make green chile chicken enchiladas.

I have to agree that Kelly's had a great creamy green chili chicken soup. Another place that has a very good one is Savory Fare on Montgomery. Give me that and some bread and I'm a happy camper!

I went into Kelly's last night by your request. They make this dish "when they feel like it". It's not a consistent dish.

All. Thank you for your suggestions. I live on the far North Side, 550 and 528. (Read: Mars). Is there anything I won't have to buy a plane ticket to eat at?
