I love this recipe not only because it tastes amazing, but because it can be used as either a dip or a soup.

When poblano is done, dice and add to the pot along with ham. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add strained beans, a handful of chopped cilantro and 2 cups of broth to the pot, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes.
Ladle ¾ of the pot into a blender and puree for dip.
For soup, add 2 additional cups of chicken broth to the blender, then puree.
Add the thickened broth mixture back into the pot with the remaining ¼ mixture. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
Serve with jalapeño, sour cream, cilantro, and fresh lime.
