Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large poblano peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: cilantro, sour cream, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Roast the poblano peppers directly over a gas flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened on all sides. Place them in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds and stems, and roughly chop the flesh.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the roasted poblano peppers and chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken and rinsed black beans. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat through gently, but do not boil after adding the cream.
  7. If using, stir in the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  8. Serve hot, topped with your preferred garnishes.
