Instructions

1. 1

   Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Add jalapeños and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in ground pork and cook until crumbly and evenly browned. Remove pork and jalapeños to a plate and set aside.

2. 2

   Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter to the same pot. Cook onion in hot butter-oil until onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in salt, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper; cook until onion is soft. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle flour over onion and garlic. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes. Slowly pour enchilada sauce into onion mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Mix in water and green salsa until well combined.

4. 4

   Return pork and jalapeños to the pot. Increase heat to medium and slowly bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the pot from heat. Stir in cilantro and lime juice to serve.
