Step 1

1. In a medium saucepan, preheat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil to medium heat for a few minutes. Add the onions, jalapeños and poblanos. Cook for a good 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

2. Add all the remaining ingredients, stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and continue cooking for 35 to 40 minutes, tasting for salt along the way.
