Potato Corn Chowder
Chowder is the king of the soup world, in my opinion. You can chowder-ify just about anything and there’s no time of year when it isn’t welcome at the table. Today’s soup is a particularly delightful addition to the category, though.
Roasted poblano peppers add just enough warmth to keep you coming back for bite after bite without being so rich that you’re filled with regret. The chicken makes this into a satisfying meal-in-one!

Poblano Chicken Chowder
Melt the butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Add the potatoes, chicken stock, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot. Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5-8 minutes, just until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
Add the corn, roasted poblanos, and chicken to the pot and simmer an additional 3-5 minutes, or just until warm all the way through.
