Our Mexican Chicken Soup is one of my favorite fall dishes, but this year I have been eating mostly vegan so I decided to go back to some of my favorite recipes and and tweak them to be plant based. Vegan or not, you must give this one a try!

The roasted poblanos make this soup! I just roast 4 poblanos on a sheet pan for 30 mins at 425. Drizzle them with olive oil and salt and you will know they are done when their skins are charred. They add a delicious flavor and if you add these- I promise you won’t miss the chicken!

At this point, the poblanos should be ready. Dice them and add them to the soup. Add in the cilantro and lime and let the soup come to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 30 mins- 1 hour before serving.

Don’t forget the tortilla chips! These are my favorite for this soup because they are really simple but thick enough so they stay crunchy!
