Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Poblano Soup
  1. Begin by dicing the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Chop the poblano peppers, corn, and onion.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and sauté for 5–7 minutes until browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add chopped poblano peppers, corn, and onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  4. Return the chicken to the pot with sautéed veggies. Add cumin, paprika, and chicken broth. Stir and bring to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. After 30 minutes, stir in cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Heat through for 5 minutes before serving.
