Ingredients
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, finely diced
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 poblano peppers, stems and seeds removed, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
4 cups leftover mashed potatoes (see Cook’s Note)
2 cups frozen corn
Chopped chives, for garnish
Directions
- Warm the chicken broth in a small saucepan. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted, then add the onions, celery, poblanos, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Raise the heat to high, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the mashed potatoes and use a wooden spoon or a whisk to incorporate them into the broth. The potatoes should melt into the broth, leaving no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the frozen corn and cook until the corn is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chives.
