Follow The Directions

01

Step

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers cut-side down on the prepared sheet.

02

Step

Broil until the pepper skins are blackened and blistered, approximately 5-8 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

03

Step

Transfer the blackened peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow them to steam and cool for about 20 minutes. This makes peeling easier.

04

Step

While the peppers cool, heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, green chiles, red bell pepper, garlic, white pepper, coriander, and ras el hanout. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and celery soften and become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

05

Step

Peel the cooled peppers, discarding the skins and seeds. Chop the roasted pepper flesh and add it to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and evaporated milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

06

Step

Stir in the pepper Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, and smoked paprika until the cheeses are melted and the chowder is creamy. Serve hot, garnished as desired.

For a smoother chowder, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup directly in the pot. Be careful when blending hot liquids!
Adjust the amount of green chiles to control the level of spice. For a milder flavor, use mild green chiles or reduce the quantity.
Consider adding a squeeze of lime juice at the end for a touch of acidity that brightens the flavors.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of extra cheese.
