Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs poblano peppers (5-6 large poblanos)
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Chop the onion and poblanos into small pieces.
  • In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and poblanos and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 30 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the half-and-half, buttermilk, salt and pepper.
