With the motor running, add the remaining broth. Season to taste with Tabasco and salt. Transfer the soup to a large lipped measuring cup or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Instruction 2

To make the roasted poblano cream, roast the chile under the broiler until the skin blackens, turning occasionally to roast evenly, 10 to 15 minutes total. Put the chile in a plastic bag, securely seal it, and set aside to cool. When the chile is cool enough to handle, peel away and discard the skin. Remove the core and seeds and chop the chile.
