4 servings
- 6 poblano peppers (about 1.5 lb total)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
- ¼ cup sour cream (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high. Arrange the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil, turning with tongs every 4–5 minutes, until the skins are deeply charred and blistered on all sides, 15–18 minutes total.

Transfer the charred peppers to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap or a plate, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel off and discard the charred skins, then remove the stems and seeds. Roughly chop the roasted pepper flesh and set aside.
