My middle daughter really doesn't like soup, but I threw this together one night and she loved it! Top it with additional shredded cheese and crushed blue corn tortilla chips.

How To Make cheesy chicken poblano chowder

  • Step 1
    Grill or broil the poblano peppers until skin is charred, place in a glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, set aside for five minutes.
  • Step 2
    While the peppers are set aside, melt the butter over medium-high heat, whisk in flour and continue to stir for a few minutes to remove the flour taste. Whisk the half & half in slowly. Whisk the cheese in until melted and the mixture is thickened, add the chicken broth. Stir or whisk to thoroughly combine.
  • Step 3
    Turn heat to medium-low. Remove the poblanos from the bowl, peel the skins under running water; slice, seed and finely chop. Seed and chop the serrano or jalapeno. Rinse, dry and finely chop the roasted red pepper. Add all to the soup.
  • Step 4
    Drain and rinse the black beans, add them along with the chicken, corn and all seasonings to the soup. Stir well, simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to combine.
