Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally until they are charred and blistered. Once done, remove them from the oven, and let them cool in a covered bowl for 10 minutes. After cooling, peel off the skins, deseed, and chop the peppers into small pieces.
- In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, cooking for an additional 1–2 minutes, until aromatic.
- Add the chopped roasted poblano peppers to the saucepan along with 4 cups of chicken bone broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Add 1 pound of diced chicken; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- While the soup simmers, blend 8 ounces of cream cheese with 1 cup of the hot soup broth in a blender until smooth and creamy. Return this mixture to the saucepan, stirring until well incorporated.
- Preheat your broiler. Ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls, top with cheese slices, and broil for 3–5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
