I live in a small town so have to travel for good ingredients. After three stores I have everything and I'm making this soup right now! Roast the poblanos the day before, to save time, if you want, if you get them fresh like I did, and put down foil on your baking sheet if you oven-roast them.... way easier cleanup! I'll post after we taste, it's gonna be an hour or so, can't wait to see if it's as fabulous as it looked on TV!
