Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by roasting your poblanos until blackened on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Seal in a plastic bag to steam for 10-15 minutes, then peel, seed, and dice.
  2. Heat a large pot over medium heat, add oil and butter. Sauté the chopped onion for about 4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in the diced roasted poblanos, corn, and shredded chicken into the sautéed onions until evenly mixed.
  4. Season with salt, Mexican oregano, cumin, and black pepper. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro.
