I picked up some roasted green chiles at the supermarket a while ago without a plan for how to use them. My mother was German, my father grew up with Italians. I don't know Mexican food. But, my housekeeper does! When she comes around, Lupe whips up a batch of her magical salsa for us, and a dinner made from whatever she finds when she cleans out the fridge. Yesterday she gave me the choice of a green chile soup or something else that I honestly just didn't understand. I gave the Spanish 101 answer, "sopa." I had two bowls of it yesterday and one today because YAY it is soy-free and gluten-free and everything but dairy free. I'm sure it can be modified though, to be dairy free as well.
I was not allowed to watch her (es secreto) but she combined green chiles, one diced onion, some amount of diced tomato, 1 can of evaporated milk (try a non-dairy milk) and crumbled cheese (cooked chicken breast pieces or ground turkey would work too). I deduced that she cooked the chiles and the onion together until the onion became tender, and then added the other ingredients. It was all prepared rather quickly.
