Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium poblano peppers
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until charred. Place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to steam.

  4. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Add chicken pieces and cook until no longer pink, about ten minutes.
  5. Blend cream cheese and shredded cheddar with one cup of broth until smooth, then stir back into the soup.
  6. Preheat your broiler, ladle soup into ovenproof bowls, top with cheese slices, and broil until bubbly and golden.
