Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • Roast poblano peppers over 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.
  • Combine chicken broth, cream cheese, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, and salsa verde in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Peel the cooled poblano peppers and remove seeds. Finely chop peppers in a food processor.
  • 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 saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and saute for 2 minutes more.
  • Pour cheese mixture into a stockpot over low heat. Add the chicken mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook until heated through, at least 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup with tofu instead of chicken. It was still delicious!

I've made this soup several times and I always add a little bit of corn. It adds a nice sweetness to the soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The soup is also very versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste.
