Corn Chowder with Poblano Pepper    

This fall favorite is great in the crock pot or when you are roasting the end of season corn and peppers. We like it best when blended smooth but it is called "chowder" so leaving the chunks and blending some of it works well too. The roasting takes some time which is usually done one day as a preparation and then the ingredients are ready to make the chowder. This makes a fun addition to Green Chili Enchiladas too.
