Chicken, Poblano and Corn Tortilla Soup

I found this recipe in the Food Network Magazine.  It sounded good and somewhat different.  It was so good, and reminded me a bit of the chicken tortilla soup I used to have at the Ground Round!

Chicken, Poblano and Corn Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
• 2 poblano chile peppers, chopped
• 1 1/4 cups frozen fire-roasted corn, thawed
• 3 T. extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 6 corn tortillas, torn
• 1 tsp. ground coriander
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup light sour cream

Directions:

1. Combine the onion, scallion whites, poblanos, 3/4 cup corn and the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.  Season with a big pinch of salt and pepper. 
2. Cook this mixture, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but not browned, about 5-7 minutes.  
3. Add the tortillas and coriander and cook, stirring until combined, about 1 minute.  
4. Add the chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil.  
5. Season the chicken with salt and add to the pot.  Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.  Remove the pot from the heat; remove the chicken to a plate.
6. Working in two batches, transfer the soup to a blender and carefully blend until very smooth (CAUTION: the liquid will be very hot!)  Clean out the pot and return soup to the pot; season with salt.
7. Shred the chicken with your fingers.  Add to the soup along with corn.  Thin sour cream with 1 T. water.
8. Serve soup topped with sour cream and scallion greens.
