-
1 Prepare the Ingredients
Drain beans.
Stem poblano, seed, and cut into 1/4" 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 chicken dry and season all over with half the fajita seasoning (reserve remaining for chili). Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor. -
2 Start the Soup
Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
Add chicken to hot pot and stir occasionally until chicken is lightly browned, 2-4 minutes. -
3 Add Poblanos and Make Broth
Add poblanos (use less if spice-averse) to hot pot and stir occasionally until tender and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains.Add 11/2 cups water, chicken base, salsa (use less if spice-averse), cream cheese, beans, and remaining fajita seasoning. Stir until combined and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 1-2 minutes. -
4 Finish Soup and Finish Dish
Cover and bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir occasionally until poblanos are tender and chili has thickened, 4-5 minutes.Remove from burner.Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping chili with shredded cheese and tortilla strips. Bon appétit!
