Directions
Chile Relleno Chicken Soup,Ever had a chile relleno? Its a delicious Mexican dish that consists of a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with cheese, dipped in an egg batter, and fried. All those same flavors also make for a deliciously rich, cheesy soup. I added chicken to make this soup a little more substantial and would be a great way to use leftover roasted chicken. Its perfect for the approaching cold weather!
