Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your broiler or gas flame. Roast the poblano peppers directly on the flame or under the broiler, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until blackened. Place in a covered bowl for steaming.
- Peel the skins off the roasted poblano peppers, cut open, seed and chop them into small pieces.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cumin, cooking for 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken bone broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the chopped roasted poblanos and diced chicken. Cook uncovered for about 10 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
- Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle soup into bowls and top with optional cheese, cilantro, and lime juice before serving.
