Ingredients

Scale

For this Easy Chicken, Poblano, and Black Bean Soup, you will need:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables:

  1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the Poblano Peppers: Stir in the diced roasted poblano peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Make the Soup:

  1. Combine the Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, ground cumin, chili powder (optional), smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken slightly.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
