A creamy, flavorful Chicken Poblano Soup combining smoky poblano peppers, tender chicken, and creamy broth for a soul-warming meal perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cooked and shredded
  • 2 large poblano peppers, roasted and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skins are charred. Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove seeds, and dice the peppers.
  2. In a soup pot, boil the chicken breasts or thighs in salted water until fully cooked (about 20 minutes). Remove and shred the chicken using two forks.
  3. Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Stir in the diced roasted peppers and shredded chicken. Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to deepen the flavors.
  7. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it warm through without boiling, about 5 minutes.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread or tortilla chips.

Notes

[‘Let roasted poblano peppers cool completely before peeling off the skins.’, ‘Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to shred cooked chicken quickly.’, ‘Taste the soup before serving and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.’, ‘For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with unsweetened coconut milk or cashew cream.’]
