Description

Roasted Poblano Chicken Soup is a flavorful and comforting dish combining smoky roasted poblanos with tender chicken and a rich broth, perfect for a hearty, warming meal.


Ingredients

  1. 34 poblano peppers
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 1 medium onion, diced
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 4 cups chicken broth
  6. 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  7. 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  8. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  9. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  10. Salt and pepper to taste
  11. Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado slices

Instructions

Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until skin is charred and blistered (about 8-10 minutes).

  1. Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off skins, remove seeds, and chop.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic; sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in roasted poblanos, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, cumin, and smoked paprika. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add shredded chicken and simmer for 10-15 minutes to combine flavors.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and top with sour cream, cheese, cilantro, or avocado if desired.

Notes

  1. Add black or white beans for extra protein and fiber.
  2. For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper.
  3. Make vegetarian by omitting chicken and using vegetable broth with beans or tofu.
  4. For a creamy version, stir in heavy cream or coconut milk before serving.
  5. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
  6. Reheat gently on stovetop over medium heat.
