Chicken Poblano Chowder is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Soup Swappers. Once per month, on the third Saturday, we share soup recipes on a given theme. We take turns hosting and the host gets to pick the theme for the month.

This month it is my turn and I selected chicken soups. It seems a wintry classic to warm our chilly bones.
I had posted a similarly titled recipe years ago, but it wasn’t my personal recipe. However, this one is, and has the touches I would add to any chicken and poblano chowder.
I love poblanos, especially stuffed as rellenos. They are slightly spicier than milder banana peppers, but not usually very hot. However, that can vary due to growing conditions. But unless it is midsummer, you probably don’t have a lot to worry about. It is the heat that brings out the heat in peppers.
Potatoes also do well in a chowder, and I love the creamy potato chowders best, such as the New England clam chowder. Overall, this soup is clear comfort to me and I hope you enjoy it as well.
