Gather all the ingredients together.
Prep the ingredients. Peel and chop the onion, ginger, and garlic. And chop the carrots, celery, and poblano pepper. You do not have to remove the seeds from the poblano pepper as they are mild.
Add the olive oil to a large pot and place it over a stovetop set to medium heat.
Toss in the peeled and chopped onion, ginger, and garlic and let these sauté for about 5 minutes. Stir this mixture frequently so the ingredients do not burn.
Then, add in the rest of the ingredients: the chopped carrot, celery, poblano pepper, tomato paste, coriander, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, frozen spinach, frozen peas, frozen corn, the chicken stock, and the cooked chicken, and give this a good stir.
Put the lid on this pot, turn down the heat to a medium-low and let this simmer for 15 minutes.
When this soup is ready, season it with some kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
Totally optional, but this chicken poblano soup can be served garnished with some green onion and fresh parsley or fresh cilantro.
