Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Rinse and pat dry poblano peppers and place on a baking sheet. Turning occasionally, roast in oven for 20-25 minutes until all sides are charred and blistered.
  2. Remove peppers from oven and place inside a sealed plastic bag to sweat for 10-15 minutes. (This process makes peeling the skin easier.) Once cooled, peel skin with a knife and remove stems and seeds. Dice peppers and set aside.
  3. Over low to medium heat, warm oil in a large pot and add onion and garlic to sauté until soft.
  4. Add diced poblano, drained corn, paprika, salt, pepper, broth, and water. Combine and simmer for 25 minutes covered.
  5. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Blend soup in pot until smooth using an immersion blender, or scoop into a regular blender.
  6. Slowly stir in milk to soup in the pot and add lime juice. Reheat soup stirring in shredded cheese until smooth and melted.
  7. Serve in bowls and top with garnishes such as cilantro, lime, diced jalapenos, a slice of avocado, or reduced-fat sour cream.
  8. **Peppers can also be roasted on an open flame over the grill or using a griddle.
