Ingredients

3-4 Poblano Peppers sub with fresh Pasilla peppers
2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (30ml)
1 Sweet Onion chopped
4 Garlic Cloves minced
2 tablespoon Cumin (30g)
2 teaspoon Coriander (10g)
½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (2.5g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 tablespoon Knorr Chicken Bouillon (30g)
1 can Pumpkin Puree (15oz/425g)
2 cans Black Beans (15oz/425g) drained & rinsed
6 cups Chicken Broth (1.4L)
2 Boneless Skinless Rotisserie Chicken Breasts (14-16oz) cubed

Instructions

Over an open flame, roast the poblano peppers until all sides are charred. (See additional roasting options below if needed.)
3-4 Poblano Peppers
Transfer the peppers to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10-20 minutes.
After steaming, remove the peppers and peel off the charred skin. (It should slide off easily.) Remove the stems and seeds, then chop the peppers.
In an 8-quart soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until the edges are golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 Sweet Onion
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for about 1 minute until aromatic.
4 Garlic Cloves
Stir in the cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, and let the spices warm for a few seconds until fragrant.
2 tbsp Cumin, 2 tsp Coriander, ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
Add the bouillon, salt, pepper, pumpkin puree, black beans, and chicken broth. Stir and heat until the soup is steaming, about 10 minutes.
Salt & Pepper, 2 tbsp Knorr Chicken Bouillon, 1 can Pumpkin Puree, 2 cans Black Beans, 6 cups Chicken Broth
Once the soup is hot, add the cubed rotisserie chicken. (Adding the chicken last keeps it tender and juicy.)
2 Boneless Skinless Rotisserie Chicken Breasts
Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve hot, dividing the soup among bowls. Makes six servings. Garnish with sour cream, more chopped poblano, even a little grated cheddar cheese if desired. Enjoy!
