Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.

- Heat the oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.
- Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, cumin, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the water and potatoes then increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 more minutes.
- Stir in the corn and roasted poblano then cook until heated through.
- Season the soup with additional salt & pepper to taste.
