Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for 15-20 minutes, until their skins blister and char. Cover them in a bowl for 10 minutes to steam, then peel, seed, and dice.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Mix in 1 teaspoon of Mexican oregano, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Add the drained corn and diced roasted poblanos. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add 8 ounces of cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth, creating a creamy base.
- Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese melts completely.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or crispy tortilla strips. Enjoy with warm bread or tortilla chips.
