You’ll never be able to go back to mom’s boring chicken soup recipe again. We’re talking Southwest Chicken Soup! Let’s talk about how to make southwest chicken soup, shall we? TWO: Broil them for 10-15 minutes, or until the skins puff up and char and loosen from the pepper flesh. Flip them halfway through the process to get both sides. Remove them from the oven and let them cool enough to handle. THREE: Peel off the skins with your fingers, or use a paper towel to gently rub them off. They should remove easily. Chop up the roasted poblano peppers and set them aside. Onion and Jalapenos. Heat the oil in a large pot and add the onion and jalapeno peppers. Cook them down for 5 minutes to soften. Season it with 1/2 tablespoon southwest seasoning blend, then cook the chicken in the pot at medium-high heat, stirring, until the chicken is mostly cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Remaining Ingredients. Stir in the roasted poblano peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken broth, and chopped chicken. Boom! Easy enough, isn’t it? This southwest chicken soup is different from other chicken soups because of all the wonderful seasonings we’re using, and particularly the wonderful, earthy roasted poblano peppers, corn and black beans. You can’t match the flavor of roasted poblanos. So good! Such a great recipe. That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my southwest chicken soup recipe! Extra roasted poblano peppers for me, please!
