Customize It Instructions

  • If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and cut into 1” pieces. Follow same instructions as diced chicken in Steps 2 and 4.

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 2 and 4, breaking up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomatoes and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Halve lime and juice.

    Drain black beans.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    Pat diced chicken dry.

  2. 2

    Start the Soup

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pot and cook undisturbed, 4 minutes.

    Stir in seasoning blend until chicken is completely coated.

    Add poblano pepper and half the tomatoes (reserve remaining for pico de gallo). Stir occasionally until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    While chicken cooks, make pico de gallo.

  3. 3

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    Combine remaining tomatoes, white portions of green onions, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. lime juice (reserve remaining for crema), and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Finish the Soup

    Add black beans, 11/2 cups water, and demi-glace to hot pot. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

    Once simmering, add 1/3 the sour cream (reserve remaining for crema) and stir occasionally until combined, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Make Scallion Crema and Finish Dish

    In another mixing bowl, combine remaining sour cream, green portions of green onions, and 1 tsp. remaining lime juice.
