Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by roasting the poblano peppers on a gas stove, grill, or under the broiler until their skins are blackened and blistered, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Place them in a plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes, making peeling easier. After cooling, remove the skins, seeds, and stems, then dice the peppers.
  3. In a large pot, heat oil and butter over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in the diced roasted poblanos, frozen or canned corn, and shredded chicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle salt, oregano, cumin, and black pepper. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring gently.
  6. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with queso fresco and cilantro. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
