  • In a large soup pot, saute carrots, onion, celery, garlic, poblanos, salt, pepper, cumin and thyme until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Add stock, cilantro and chicken and cook several minutes more.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter and add flour.
  • Cook flour, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, over low heat, but do not brown like a roux.
  • Add a cup of the soup to the flour and whisk briskly, then add two more, one at a time, whisking briskly after each addition.
  • Pour the mixture into the soup pot and stir, cooking and stirring the soup constantly until the soup thickens, about 3-5 minutes more.
  • Blend in the cream and hot sauce, remove from heat, and serve.

  1. Great warming soup. It made a lot so I froze it to take to work. I added just 2 peppers, this was the first time eating poblano peppers. Thank you!
     
  2. This is now a family favorite. Everyone loved this, even my husband who typically isn't excited about soup. He loved this one! Everything about it is perfect!
     
  3. This soup was delicious!!! I also used rotisserie chicken. I had some leftover baked potatos also so I peeled them, chopped them up, and added them at the very end. My husband also loves cheese so he added some cheddar too! Yummy!!!
     
  4. this was soooo tasty!! we all loved this, including my 3 yo dd!!! i made a few changes: used a rotisserie chicken from the deli, i roasted 1 of the poblanos for some added flavor, used parsley instead of cilantro and just added the heavy cream to the soup at the end instead of doing the whole roux thing. this was so wonderful and easy! will make often. thanks!!
