Tips:

  • Choose the Right Poblano Peppers: Select poblano peppers that are dark green, firm, and have a smooth, shiny skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the Poblano Peppers Properly: Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them directly over a gas burner or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Alternatively, you can roast them in a 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes.
  • Peel the Poblano Peppers Carefully: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling. Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the charred skin, being careful not to tear the flesh of the peppers.
  • Use a Good Quality Vegetable Broth: The vegetable broth is a key ingredient in this chowder, so use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste. You can use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth.
  • Don't Overcook the Potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the chowder and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cumin.
  • Serve with Toppings of Your Choice: Serve the chowder with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or crumbled bacon.
