  • Add shredded chicken, black beans, frozen corn, chicken broth, and remaining seasoning. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer, and allow to simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Once the cheese is melted, allow the soup to come to a simmer again.

Poblano peppers vary in size, with an average providing about ¾ cup. Substitute the homemade seasoning with about 1 tablespoon of chicken taco or chicken fajita seasoning if preferred.
