This is a recipe that I have used for many years and my family and friends request this for gatherings. Good creamy chowder - I prefer the soup thin vs thick. You can adjust for your tastes. When I make it - this is all I eat for several meals!

How To Make poblano pepper and potato chowder

  • 1
    Broil or grill the peppers and red pepper until black and blistery: Place peppers into a ziplock and let steam for 10 mins. loosen skins; Peel peppers and remove seeds. chopp coarsely I have started to do the same with the jalapeno and its adds great flavor without all the heat. Also, I like to cook the peppers outside on grill.
