This poblano chicken soup is creamy, filling, and low carb. Serve in soup bowls garnished with cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and shredded cheese if desired.
Ingredients
- 5 poblano peppers
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup salsa verde
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pound boiled boneless, skinless chicken breast, shredded
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Roast poblano peppers over an open flame on a gas stove or grill until all sides are charred, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
Step 2
Combine chicken broth, cream cheese, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, and salsa verde in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Peel cooled poblano peppers and remove seeds. Finely chop peppers in a food processor.
Step 4
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and cumin. Cook and stir until slightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add poblanos and saut? for 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and saut? for 2 minutes more.
Step 5
Pour cheese mixture into a stockpot over low heat. Add chicken mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook until heated through, at least 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips
Feel free to substitute Monterey Jack with any cheese of your choice.
