["Heat a large dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the poblano pepper, garlic, onion, carrots, and celery and saute until the vegetables become tender and break down. About 10-12 minutes.", "Add the cumin, paprika, chile powder, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt and pepper and stir well, coating the veggies evenly. Saute for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.", "Once boiling, reduce the temperature to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 30-45 minutes. Add the shredded chicken to the pot and mix well. I divided the shredded chicken in half, pureeing some of it, and leaving a few chunkier pieces", "Using an immersion blender, gently puree the soup until you reach your desired texture. I love my soup slightly chunky. You can also do this using a high powered blender or food processor. Add the chopped cilantro to the soup last and stir well.", "Check the seasonings and season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
