CREAMY POBLANO POTATO SOUP

Creamy Poblano Potato Soup image

This potato soup uses not one, but TWO types of potatoes. The mashed thickens and gives creaminess while the scalloped adds texture. The poblanos? Well, they just add a little bit of kick to take this soup to the next level of deliciousness.
