I like to make white chicken chili in the winter months, but this lightened up fresh soup would make a great first course in the summer! The fresh cilantro and cumin give it a great authentic flavor, and it packs just the right amount of heat. For those that like a spicier soup, just serve some additional diced green chiles or fresh sliced jalapenos on the side! I like a little crumbled queso fresco on the top.

This soup sounds so delicious I can almost smell it cooking. I bet it would make the best appetizer dip too, if you added cream cheese and a bunch of super sharp cheddar. If you wanted to give it a more smoky flavor...you could always roast the poblano peppers and add some roasted tomatoes as well. Either way, I'm definitely making this soon!
