Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter until foamy. Add chopped yellow onion, chopped celery, and diced poblano pepper, seasoning with kosher salt and pepper. Sauté for 7-8 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in minced garlic, chile powder, and dried oregano. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken stock and add diced Yukon Gold potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cooking for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in frozen corn, heavy cream, and sugar, mixing until well incorporated. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, purée 1½ cups of the soup until smooth. Stir back into the pot.
- Mix in crumbled cotija cheese, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with extra cilantro, crumbled cotija, and a drizzle of Mexican crema or sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
