Step-by-Step Instructions
- Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler for about 5–10 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins are blackened and blistered. Place in a covered bowl to steam for 10 minutes, then peel and chop.
- In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, cooking for an additional minute.
- Stir in the chopped roasted poblanos and pour in 4 cups of chicken bone broth. Season with salt and pepper, then bring to boil over high heat. Reduce to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add 1 pound of boneless chicken thighs, ensuring they are submerged. Cook for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
- Combine 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese in a blender with about 1 cup of hot broth and blend until smooth.
- Stir the cheese mixture back into the soup until well incorporated and creamy. Let it simmer for a few more minutes.
- Preheat your oven's broiler, ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with extra cheese slices, and broil for 2–3 minutes until melted.
- Let the bowls cool slightly, top with fresh cilantro and lime juice, and serve with warm tortilla chips or salad.
