Step-by-Step Instructions for Chile Relleno Soup
- Begin by charring the poblano peppers over an open flame or under the broiler for about 8–10 minutes.
- After steaming, carefully unwrap the peppers and peel off the skins. Finely chop the roasted peppers.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter and sauté the diced onion for 5–7 minutes, then add minced garlic and chopped peppers.
- Pour in the chicken bone broth and stir in ground cumin. Bring to a gentle boil and add cubed chicken, then simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Blend cream cheese with a cup of hot broth until smooth, then mix back into the soup.
- Preheat the broiler, ladle soup into bowls, and float slices of cheese on top. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
