Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sautéing Onions: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Aromatic Garlic: Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Cooking the Chicken: Stir in the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Inviting the Spices: Season the mixture with ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices with the chicken and onion mixture.
  5. Adding Heartiness: Add the chopped roasted poblano peppers, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), corn, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  6. Boiling for Flavor: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Creamy Finish: After simmering, stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Serving Up Joy: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for chickpeas or extra beans and use vegetable broth.
