One-pot Chicken Poblano Soup is loaded with shredded chicken, veggies, flavorful spices, and a touch of cream. It is slightly spicy and full of flavor – it tastes a lot like a creamy taco soup!
Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or pot. Add the poblano peppers, onion and bell pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Continue to cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant and slightly toasted.
Add the chicken broth, water, shredded chicken, frozen corn, black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cheese and heavy cream, and heat until smooth and well combined. Serve with cilantro and lime wedges if desired!
Notes
This soup freezes really well and lasts up to 3 days in the fridge.
