Ingredients
  

For Chicken Poblano Soup

  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter or Olive Oil
  • ½ cup Yellow Onion chopped
  • 1 Poblano Pepper chopped, stems and seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon Chicken Taco / Chicken Fajita Seasoning or seasoning blend
  • 1 can Black Beans 15 oz.; drained – not rinsed
  • ½ cup Frozen Corn
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ cup Shredded Cheese Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Colby Jack, or Mexican Blend
  • 2 teaspoon fresh Lime Juice
  • finely chopped Cilantro for garnish

For Seasoning Blend

Instructions
 

Cooking Directions

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add onions, poblanos, and half of the seasoning blend. Cook for 5-6 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  • Add shredded chicken, black beans, frozen corn, chicken broth, and remaining seasoning, and stir to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Once the cheese is fully melted, allow the soup to come to a simmer again.
  • Let the soup simmer for at least another 15 minutes, then stir in the fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the hot soup between warmed bowls, and garnish with cilantro and your favorite toppings!

Notes

Poblano peppers vary in size, and an average poblano pepper should give you about ¾ cup. Substitute the homemade seasoning blend with about 1 tablespoon of chicken taco or chicken fajita seasoning if preferred!
