Instruction

  • Roast Poblanos: Turn on the flame on your gas stove and place poblano peppers on the flame. Turn often until charred. OR in the oven: Place the poblano peppers on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes, turning halfway, or until the skin is browned and blistered.
  • In a large dutch oven, heat oil on medium-high heat.
  • Add onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
  • Chop the poblanos into small pieces then add the poblano peppers and the spices and stir for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, green chilies, beans, and spices. Stir until well combined. Cover and bring soup to a boil.
  • Once at a boil, turn down heat and add in chicken. Let simmer covered for 20-25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked through and no pink remains. Take soup off the heat.
  • Gently take the chicken out of the soup. Let cool, shred and set aside.
  • Using a liquid measuring cup, scoop 4 cups of soup into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add pureed soup and shredded chicken back into the soup and stir well.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve warm with desired toppings!
