Description

A hearty and flavorful chicken tortilla soup featuring roasted poblano peppers and a blend of spices.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For serving: tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the chopped poblano peppers, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, and black beans.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Simmer for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.

Notes

  • To roast poblano peppers, place them directly over a gas burner flame or under a broiler, turning occasionally until the skin is blackened and blistered. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes to steam, then peel and chop.
  • You can make this soup vegetarian by omitting the chicken and using vegetable broth.
