Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

one onion, diced

1 red bell pepper

1-2 large poblano peppers, diced

4 garlic cloves, rough chopped

3 cups potatoes, diced- yukon, baby, red, or peeled

3 cups veggie broth (or use water and 2 teaspoons broth base or boullion cubes)

1 ½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon fresh black pepper

1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano

1 bay leaf

4 cups corn (divided)

2 cups milk (regular, soy, almond, oat) I used soy milk and loved it.

Directions

In a large pot or dutch oven, heat oil over medium high heat. Saute onion, 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Lower heat to medium, add bell pepper, poblano peppers and garlic, saute 4-5 minutes until fragrant. Add potatoes and broth and salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, oregano and bay leaf. You should have just enough liquid to cover potatoes- if not, add a little more. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer, until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Place half of the corn in a blender with the milk. Blend until silky smooth. Pour this into the soup pot, along with the remaining half of corn. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through.

Taste and adjust the salt to taste. Add a squeeze of lime, if needed.

Serve with lime wedges and cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream for extra richness if you like.
