GREEN CHILE CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Char the peppers over the stove burner flame until blackened all over. Place in a large bowl and cover tightly with a dish towel. Let cool. Peel and scrape off the blackened skins. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the leeks, potatoes and peppers and cook until the leeks are wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with the flour and cook to remove the raw flour taste, about 2 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano and nutmeg. Pour in the chicken broth and 2 cups water. Stir to combine. Bring to a strong simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Add the cream, chicken and corn. Return to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened and flavorful, 10 to 15 minutes more. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt if needed.
• Serve the soup in bowls garnished with cilantro leaves and cotija.
