Instructions
- Heat a pan to medium heat and dry toast the dried peppers until they become fragrant, about 30 seconds per side. Remove them from the heat and add them to a pot of boiling water, just enough to cover them.
- Turn off the heat and let them rehydrate for 20 minutes.
- When the peppers are rehydrated, drain them but reserve a few tablespoons of the darkened water. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and add them to a food processor with the reserved water and process to form a paste. Strain, if desired, to remove any remaining bits.
- Heat a large pot to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the potatoes, carrot, peppers and celery and cook, stirring a bit, about 10 minutes to soften everything up.
- Add the garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper and stir. Cook another minute.
- Add the white wine to deglaze the pan. Stir up the brown bits from the bottom.
- Add the chicken stock and swirl in your chili paste. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, though you can easily simer longer to further develop the flavor.
- Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- At this point, you can transfer as much to a food processor and process until smooth. I like to process only about half and leave it a bit chunky. You can also use stick blender.
- Swirl in the cheese and stir until it is nicely melted through.
- Serve in bowls with fresh herbs, limes, chili flakes and crackers.
