1 t fresh black pepper

6 md yukon Gold potatoes or 8-10 small red new potatoes, unpeeled, chopped


1 c Crema, Creme Fraiche or sour cream


1/2 c grated Anejo cheese (optional)





In a heavy Dutch oven or stockpot, fry the bacon over moderate


heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown. Toss in the


onions, half of the diced Poblanos, the salt and pepper and cook


until slightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon out any excess fat.


Stir in the garlic and cook briefly just to release the aroma, 1


to 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, add the potatoes and bring


to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes.





Puree in a food processor or blender just until smooth, being


careful not to over-process. Over-working will result in a gummy

6 cup milk


2 tsp chicken bouillon


1/2 tsp salt


1/4 tsp pepper


1/2 lb. cheddar cheese





Peel, cube, boil, drain and ';mush'; potatoes to the consistency you


like (I like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces). In


separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for


about a minute. Add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of


flour mixture. Add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to


a boil. Stir almost constantly or it will scorch. After boiling,


turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.





You can of course decrease the cheese amount. I also add broccoli,


carrots, corn, peas or any combination of those when I am in the


mood.
