• Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes to cook the flour. Do not allow the mixture to brown!
• Ladle 1 cup of the hot liquid from the stockpot into the skillet, whisking constantly.
• When the first cup of liquid is incorporated, add another 2 cups of liquid, 1 at a time.
• Pour the mixture in the skillet into the stockpot, whisking to blend.
• Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes longer, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
• Remove the pot from the heat.
• Stir in the hot sauce, then the cream, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut up the potatoes and remove the kernels of corn from the cobs with a knife. Set aside in a large bowl, or wherever you have room. (I held the corn IN a bowl while I cut so the kernels didn't fly everywhere so much.).
• In a large pot (this recipe makes about 14 cups, so pretty large), boil the broth and the corn cobs together for about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove the cobs and let cool. Scrape the remaining corn bits into the pot of broth. You can use a butter knife or spoon. Let this pot rest for a moment.
• In a large skillet, melt butter or use non-fat cooking spray and saute the chopped onions and bell peppers until just tender.
• Add to this skillet the garlic and poblanos and continue to saute until poblanos are tender too.
• Dump the onion/pepper/garlic mixture into the broth pot. Add the chipotle(s) (whole so they can be removed if you like) and some of the adobo sauce (2 T. is a rough estimate).
• Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes.
• Add potatoes and corn and simmer until potatoes are al dente ;) Maybe 20 minutes?.
• Turn off the heat. Add cream.
• Ladle about half of the soup into a blender (you may have to do this in batches) and blend with the cheese. (I do 2 batches, so I use half the cheese in the first batch and half in the second.).
• Call everyone to dinner.
• You can offer cilantro as a garnish (or even add a bit to the soup pot if everyone likes it.).

Steps:

• 1. In a large stockpot, heat oil over medium heat. Add carrots, onions, celery, garlic, poblano peppers, salt, pepper, cumin and thyme. Saute for 7-8 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
• 2. Stir in chicken bouillon, then add chicken broth and cilantro. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Stir in the cooked chicken.
• 3. While chowder is simmering, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir frequently for about 3-4 minutes to cook the flour, but do not let it brown. Ladle 1 cup of the hot liquid from chowder into the saucepan whisking constantly. Keep adding more of the liquid until the mixture is smooth and not chunky. Pour this mixture slowly back into the chowder and stir until thoroughly combined. Cook for another 3-5 minutes to allow chowder to thicken.
• 4. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce, then the cream. Serve!!

Steps:

• Cook and dice the baking potatoes.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large pot.
• Drain the canned chicken and add to the pot.
