Ingredients
  

  • 5 Poblano peppers
  • 1 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 c sour cream
  • 1 tbsp vegetable bouillon concentrate
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 leek diced
  • 1 c corn kernels

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet with Silpat
  • blender
  • Tin foil and kitchen towels
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Halve poblanos (bell peppers will work too), remove seeds and ribs. Arrange poblanos, cut sides down, on a cooking tray with a silpat. Roast until skins are charred, about 20 minutes.
  2. Cover the peppers (on the cooking tray) with a sheet of tinfoil and kitchen napkins on top to sweat for 5 minutes. Transfer poblanos to a cutting board and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel and discard skins. Slice poblanos into 1/2 inch wide strips.
  3. Add cream cheese, sour cream, and vegetable bouillon to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  4. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add leek, cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in poblano strips, sour cream mixtures and corn. Simmer until heated through (about 5 minutes). Serve and enjoy.
