Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. Unsalted Butter or Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped Yellow Onion
  • 1 Poblano Pepper chopped, stems and seeds removed (see notes)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Crisp Morning
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken
  • 1 can Black Beans (15 oz.; drained – not rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup frozen Corn
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Colby Jack, or Mexican Blend
  • 2 tsp. fresh Lime Juice
  • finely chopped Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the onions and poblano
    Melt the butter in a large saucepan, or a medium pot or Dutch oven (a 3.5 quart enamel Dutch oven works well). Add the onions, poblanos, and half of the Crisp Morning. Cook for 5-6 minutes until tender and lightly browned.

  2. Stir in the hearty ingredients
    Add the shredded chicken, black beans, frozen corn, chicken broth, and the remaining Crisp Morning, and stir to combine. Turn the heat to medium-high, bring the soup to a simmer, and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

  3. Make it creamy
    Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Once the cheese is fully melted, let the soup come to a simmer again.

  4. Simmer for flavor
    Let the soup simmer for at least another 15 minutes, then stir in the fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve
    Divide the hot soup between warmed bowls and garnish with cilantro and your favorite toppings.

Pro Tip

Poblano peppers vary in size, and an average poblano pepper should give you about 3/4 cup.
