A comforting Chicken Poblano Soup filled with savory flavors, smoky poblano peppers, and a creamy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Brown the Chicken: Stir in the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Spice It Up: Season the mixture with ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices with the chicken and onion mixture.
  5. Combine the Ingredients: Add the chopped roasted poblano peppers, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), corn, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  6. Bring to a Boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  7. Creamy Finish: After simmering, stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for added brightness.

Notes

Store soup in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to three months. Roasting poblano peppers enhances flavor. Adapt recipe with different proteins or vegetables as desired.
