Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 medium poblano peppers diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1 ½ cups frozen corn
  • 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 oz fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 4 oz can green chiles
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or pot. Add the poblano peppers, onion and bell pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Continue to cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant and slightly toasted.
  • Add the chicken broth, water, shredded chicken, frozen corn, black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the cheese and heavy cream, and heat until smooth and well combined. Serve with cilantro and lime wedges if desired!

Notes

  • This soup freezes really well and lasts up to 3 days in the fridge. 
  • Slightly spicy and full of flavor, this tastes a lot like a creamy taco soup!
