Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base

  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter For sautéing and creating flavor.
  • ½ cup Chopped Yellow Onion Brings sweetness when sautéed.
  • 1 Poblano Pepper, chopped (seeds & stem removed) Adds smoky flavor.
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth Homemade or store-bought.
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken Use rotisserie or cooked chicken.
  • 1 can (15 oz) Black Beans, drained Adds fiber and texture.
  • ½ cup Frozen Corn Sweetness and crunch.

For Seasoning

  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp Chili Powder
  • ½ tsp Dried Oregano
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • ½ tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Cumin

For Creaminess

  • ½ cup Heavy Cream Richness and indulgence.
  • ½ cup Shredded Cheese Cheddar, Mexican Blend, or Colby Jack.

For Garnish

  • 1–2 tsp Fresh Lime Juice (from 1 lime wedge) Adds brightness.
  • Fresh Chopped Cilantro For garnish and burst of flavor.

Instructions
 

Sauté the Veggies

  • Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and poblano pepper, along with half of your seasoning blend. Cook for about 5–6 minutes, until the veggies are soft and slightly browned.

Add the Soup Base

  • Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, and chicken broth along with the rest of your seasoning blend. Bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Let It Simmer

  • Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Make It Creamy

  • Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese, mixing until the cheese is fully melted. Bring to a simmer again for another 15 minutes.

Finish & Serve

  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For best results, sauté the vegetables thoroughly and adjust spices to your preference. This soup can be made dairy-free by swapping cream with coconut milk.
