My middle daughter really doesn't like soup, but I threw this together one night and she loved it! Top it with additional shredded cheese and crushed blue corn tortilla chips.

Whisk the cheese in until melted and the mixture is thickened, add the chicken broth. Stir or whisk to thoroughly combine.

    Turn heat to medium-low. Remove the poblanos from the bowl, peel the skins under running water; slice, seed and finely chop. Seed and chop the serrano or jalapeno. Rinse, dry and finely chop the roasted red pepper. Add all to the soup.
