Instructions

Roast the poblano chile. Preheat oven to broil. Drizzle poblano chile with a little oil, place on a baking sheet and broil until it is blackened on all sides about 5-10 minutes, turning every few minutes; chile should be splotchy-black and blistered. Add the charred chile to a plastic baggie and seal, or to a bowl and cover. Allow to steam in the baggie for about 10 minutes to loosen the skin. Remove from bag and use a paper towel to peel off the skin. Dice.
-
Heat butter or olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the onions, jalapeno, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
-
Add in chicken, tomatillos, poblano, seasonings, and broth, and simmer. After 10 minutes, remove the chicken and shred using two forks.
-
Purée 1 can of the navy beans adding a little broth as needed. Add puréed and whole beans, corn, and shredded chicken to pot and simmer for 15 minutes.
-
Remove pot from heat and add cilantro, cream cheese, and stir until incorporated. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve with desired toppings.
