Steps

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a Dutch oven. Add the chicken and sear for about 5 minutes per side, until browned; then remove it from the pot.

  3. 3

    Add the corn to the Dutch oven and let it char undisturbed. Remove the corn and set it aside.

  4. 4

    Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños to the pot. Sauté until softened.

  5. 5

    Add garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chipotle chili powder, and oregano. Toast for 30 seconds.

  6. 6

    Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  7. 7

    Add the tomato paste and cook until it turns brick red.

  8. 8

    Pour in the chicken stock and heat it until hot. Add the corn tortillas and let them soften in the broth.

    Transfer the softened tortillas and some broth to a blender. Add the chipotle peppers in adobo and blend until smooth.

  10. 10

    Pour the blended mixture back into the pot. Add the petite diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.

  11. 11

    Return the chicken to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.

  12. 12

    Blend the cream cheese with some of the broth until smooth, then add it to the pot.

  13. 13

    Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next.

    Add the reserved corn and black beans. Shred the chicken, then return it to the pot.

    Simmer on low for a few minutes.
