Preheat large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add olive oil. Add onions and poblanos. Cook for about 5 min until softened and lighting browned.

Add chicken stock, diced tomatoes, beans, and a large pinch of salt and any drippings from your chicken. Stir and reduce to a low simmer for 10 min.
Pick and chop ½ of chicken (into spoon size pieces).
Scoop out about 2 cups or about 3 ladles worth of soup into a high sided container. Add 2 chilis in adobo into that container and blend with immersion blender. Add blended soup + chilis back into soup pot. Add corn and chopped chicken into the soup. Stir and continue to simmer on low for about 5 minutes.
