Οδηγίες

Prepare the Seasoning

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Set aside.

Sauté the Aromatics

Heat butter or olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and poblano pepper along with half of the seasoning blend.

Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden.

Add the Main Ingredients

Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, and corn. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the remaining seasoning blend.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat slightly and let it cook uncovered for about 15 minutes.

Create the Creamy Base

Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted completely and the soup has a smooth, creamy texture.

Let it simmer for another 15 minutes so the flavors deepen and the broth thickens slightly.

Finish with Freshness

Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.

Remove the soup from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve and Garnish

Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with fresh cilantro. You can also add sliced jalapeños, crushed tortilla chips, or a drizzle of lime juice for extra flavor.
