Print Recipe

A hearty and satisfying soup with tender chicken, creamy broth, smoky roasted poblano peppers, and pops of black beans. Perfect for cozy nights or chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium-sized poblano peppers, roasted and peeled
  • 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Shredded cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway, until the skins are blistered. Remove them, let cool, and peel off the skins.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Blend the roasted peppers with 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth (or chop finely if you prefer a chunkier soup).
  4. Add the blended peppers to the pot, followed by the remaining chicken broth, shredded chicken, and black beans. Stir to combine.
  5. Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
  6. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream just before serving, letting it warm through without boiling.
  8. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and top with shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

[‘Roast poblano peppers properly and peel the skins for a smooth texture.’, ‘Use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.’, ‘Add heavy cream at the end to prevent curdling.’, ‘Customize the heat level by leaving in some poblano seeds or adding cayenne.’, ‘Prep ahead by roasting peppers and shredding chicken in advance.’]
