* Roasting Poblano Peppers- Pre-heat broiler on high. Place peppers on a cookie sheet and char peppers on all sides. Remove peppers from broiler and place in a baggie to steam for about 10 minutes. Peel skin off of the peppers, remove stem and roughly chop peppers. For a mild soup remove all seeds, if you like heat in your soup then leave most of the seeds in while chopping the peppers.
