Here's an easy recipe for an awesome Poblano Corn Soup! I used a homemade veggie stock for this batch, but you are welcome to use your stock of choice.

Instructions
- Rinse the poblanos and roast them in the oven at 400F. Give them a flip after 15 minutes. They'll be mostly roasted in another 10-15 minutes, so 25-30 minutes total roasting time in the oven. Once the roasted poblanos have cooled a bit, pull off and discard as much skin as you can but don't worry about getting rid of all of it. Then de-stem and de-seed the poblanos.
- As the poblanos roast you can start building the rest of the soup. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Roughly chop an onion and add it to the saucepan along with 4 whole, peeled garlic cloves.
- Once the onion is starting to brown you can add the cubed 1/2 potato, letting it cook for a couple minutes. Note that the potato is used to thicken up the soup, but you are welcome to use your preferred thickener instead.
- Once the potato has cooked for a bit you can add the following ingredients: 4 cups stock, 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and the de-stemmed and de-seeded roasted Poblanos.
- Bring this up to temp and let it simmer until the potatoes are softened -- that was about 10 minutes for this batch.
- Add the mixture to a blender and combine well. Be sure to use caution when blending hot liquids -- I typically hold a paper towel over any openings to prevent a geyser.
- Return the soup to the saucepan and add the corn. I used a single can of corn for this batch, drained and rinsed. Combine well and take a final taste for seasoning. I added additional pinches of Mexican oregano, cumin, and salt to this batch, but keep in mind the salt level will depend on which stock you use.
- Serve immediately but don't forget to garnish! A final burst of acidity really brightens up this soup, with a squeeze of lime or a few drops of hot sauce being good options. I also added some freshly diced cilantro stems to this batch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- This soup is still spicy! If you want a milder version you can consider using less Poblanos.
- I used this homemade Vegetable Stock to make this soup.
