Remove the stems and seeds.

In another saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine, add the flour and stir well. Add the warmed milk and stir until well blended. Add the chile pepper mixture and mix well.

SPICY SWEET CORN AND POBLANO SOUP
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Coat garlic lightly with vegetable oil and wrap in foil. Bake garlic 30 minutes, or until soft.
- In a dry small heavy skillet toast coriander and cumin seeds over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant and several shades darker. In an electric coffee/spice grinder grind seeds to powder.
- Chop onions and in a 6-quart heavy kettle cook in 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Reserve about one third onions in a small bowl. Wearing rubber gloves, slice jalapeño and chop roasted poblanos (abut 1 cup). Remove kernels from ears of corn (about 2 cups), reserving cobs. To onions in kettle add jalapeño and 1 cup corn kernels and cook over moderate heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Add ground spices, 1/2 cup poblanos, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Cut reserved corn cobs into thirds and add with broth to corn mixture. Simmer soup, uncovered, 30 minutes.
- In a small heavy skillet sauté remaining kernels in remaining teaspoon oil over moderately high heat, stirring, just until tender.
- Discard corn cobs from soup. Squeeze garlic pulp from skins and stir with cream into soup. Pour soup through a sieve into a bowl and in a blender purée solids with just enough liquid to make smooth.
- Tie long coriander sprigs in a bunch with kitchen string. Transfer purée and remaining liquid to kettle with tied coriander and lime juice and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, just until heated through. Chop roasted bell pepper. To soup add bell pepper, remaining poblanos, reserved onions, and sautéed corn and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until heated through. Discard tied coriander.
- Serve soup garnished with coriander.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn and poblano chiles. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn can be substituted, but the flavor will not be as good.
- To easily remove the kernels from the corn, use a sharp knife to cut them off the cob. You can also use a corn stripper, if you have one.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the corn and poblano chiles by hand with a potato masher or fork. However, a blender will give you a smoother soup.
- If you like your soup spicy, add more diced poblano chiles to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This creamy corn and poblano chile soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn and poblano chiles.
