Instructions
- Roast Poblanos: Turn on the flame on your gas stove and place poblano peppers on the flame. Turn often until charred. OR in the oven: Place the poblano peppers on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes, turning halfway, or until the skin is browned and blistered.
- In a large dutch oven, heat oil on medium-high heat.
- Add onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
- Chop the poblanos into small pieces then add the poblano peppers and the spices and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, green chilies, beans, and spices. Stir until well combined. Cover and bring soup to a boil.
- Once at a boil, turn down heat and add in chicken. Let simmer covered for 20-25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked through and no pink remains. Take soup off the heat.
- Gently take the chicken out of the soup. Let cool, shred and set aside.
- Using a liquid measuring cup, scoop 4 cups of soup into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add pureed soup and shredded chicken back into the soup and stir well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve warm with desired toppings!
Notes
Instead of transferring 4 cups of soup to a blender, feel free to use an immersion blender in this step if desired! If using an immersion blender, make sure to leave some of the veggies whole, and avoid over-blending. The soup shouldn’t be a pureed soup!
This soup isn’t super spicy, but to avoid spice, scrape out seeds from any peppers!

This is my all time favorite recipe! I was served this a few years ago and have forwarded this recipe to probably 50+ people since. It is super easy, healthy and always gets raves. I make it at least 2x a month. Tastes even better the next day. I often double the recipe and pretty much follow it as is. A real keeper!

Thanks for this! Poblanos are my favorite!! Since I found this recipe I’ve made different versions of it four times now. I highly recommend roasting tomatillos under the broiler, blending them, and adding them to the broth. I often add different kinds of chili powder and or smoked paprika. I quadruple the recipe for lots of leftovers.

So happy you loved it!
Where can we find the crockpot recipe?
Great recipe-easy and tasty. Made as shown except that I added 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika. Will make again.

Sounds delicious and I’m anxious to try it. Do you rinse the beans before adding to soup or do you use the “juice” the beans are in?
Rinse and drain!
Tried this and followed the directions exactly and it was delicious, thanks for turning me on to this different kind of soup
