- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 6 cups chicken broth

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and poblanos, saute until tender, about 15 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, cumin, and thyme. Saute 5 minutes longer.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, add raw chicken. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and shred. Set aside.
- Add heavy cream to the soup pot, stir until blended.
- Use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until smooth. (You may use a blender instead, but working in small batches. Blend the soup until smooth).
