Step 1.
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the tomatillos, unpeeled garlic cloves, onion wedges, poblano halves, and jalapeño halves with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the peppers cut side down. Broil, rotating the pan every 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and charred, about 15 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Let the broiled vegetables cool slightly. Discard the skins from the poblano and garlic cloves. Finely chop all the vegetables and transfer them to a Dutch oven or large pot. Add the ground cumin and ground coriander and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add the chicken broth, rinsed black beans, and drained fire-roasted diced tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the soup simmers, make the pickled onion: In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced red onion with the lime juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Let sit at least 10 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Serve the soup topped with the pickled onion and fresh cilantro leaves.
