1 poblano pepper or jalapeno pepper (diced)
2 cloves garlic (diced or minced)
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
2 cups frozen corn
2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (diced)

1 pound chicken breast
6 cups chicken broth
8 ounces cream cheese or crème fraîche
6 slices of bacon
2 limes (optional for garnish)

1/2 cup cotija cheese

Instructions

Heat a large sauté pan to medium heat. Add olive oil or avocado oil.
Sauté the diced onion, diced poblano or jalapeno pepper, and minced garlic for about three minutes.
Mix in chili powder and cumin, sautéing for an additional few minutes.
Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.
Add frozen corn, diced potatoes, diced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, chicken breast, and chicken broth to your slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
In the last 30 minutes before the soup is done, stir in cream cheese or crème fraîche for extra creaminess.
Cook the slices of bacon until they reach your desired crispiness.
Serve the soup hot, topped with crumbled bacon, cotija cheese, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and fresh cilantro if desired. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Taste the soup while it cooks and adjust seasoning as needed. For vegetarian options, consider beans and vegetable broth instead of chicken.
