There’s no better way to celebrate the start of summer than with a satisfying bowl of soup loaded with fresh corn and roasted poblanos. Fresh corn kernels are cooked until golden brown to extract every last drop of sweet goodness. Roasting the poblanos give them a rich, mellow, sweeter taste that really give this soup a boost of flavor. Serve this soup with a light salad or a loaf of crusty bread. For the meat- lovers in the family feel free to add diced chicken, crumbled bacon or cooked chorizo. Cut your time in the kitchen by roasting the poblanos the day before and storing them in the fridge.
