Found this recipe and tried it....it is so good!

Chili Relleno Soup
(Cooking Professionally)
Ingredients:
• 5 poblano peppers
• 2 T. light butter (2 flats = regular butter)
• 3 T. chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 4 C. chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 oz. cooked chicken breast shredded (about 2 breasts)
• 8 T. light cream cheese, cut into cubes
• 4 C. shredded cheddar cheese, divided (save 1-1/2 C. for toping)
Directions:
1. Roast poblano peppers until skin is charred and blistered. You can do this over the open flame on a gas stove or by heating your broiler to high and place the poblanos within a few inches of the broiler and turning to get all sides charred.
2. Place the charred poblanos in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool. Rub the skin to remove as much as possible. Cut out seeds and place in a food processor or blender to finely chop. Set aside.
3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and poblanos and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Stir in chicken broth and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Add shredded chicken.
5. Add cream cheese and 2-1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese and whisk until smooth.
6. To serve, divide into 6 bowls and sprinkle each with ¼ C. shredded cheddar cheese. Sit briefly under the broiler until cheese is melted and browned (this step is optional but Oh So Good).

I would certainly eat that. Might also be good to add some pico de gallo on top.

I feel sorry for folks that miss eating good Mexican food on this earth. This sounds really good.

Looks good. I just planted 5 poblano pepper plants. ( to replace the 5 I planted before the late freeze)

I made a pot today but it’s still simmering. We’ll see how the grandkids like it with tortillas.

And it was killer…even my wife ate a bowl (and she doesn’t like soup).

What does this mean..
“(2 flats = regular butter)”

STOLEN!! LOL Well, not exactly but... Your recipe made me go look up a Chili Relleno Casserole and it looked interesting and easy, so I went to Compare Foods (Local Hispanic market) and got 6 big poblanos, some Queso Fresco and Cilantro to finish with, and I made the recipe. I will start another thread instead of hogging in with this one. Thanks buckwheatpaul! It's coming out of the oven in about 30mins.

Yes, I have made a casserole too and it was good. Our market only has Poblanos for a few weeks in the spring. Have to watch for them.

Anything with Poblano peppers, as one of the main ingredients, has got to be good.

Just made this, or something close.
Bone-in thighs were on sale, so I browned 3 lbs of them in a dutch oven and saved enough of the rendered fat to saute the onions. Doubled everything except the cheddar cheese and I still think it a little cheddar forward. Overall, great soup!
