Steps:

• PREPARING THE CORN AND POBLANO PEPPERS: Heat a BBQ or gas grill on medium-high heat. Grill the corn on the cob and the poblano peppers for 5 minutes on all sides. This should give you some nice caramelization. Allow them to cool.
• PREPARING THE CORN STOCK: Take the grilled corn off the cobs with a sharp knife, and reserve. Put the cobs in a medium sauce pot, and just cover with water. Set the temperature to medium-high, and let the cobs boil for 20 minutes. Let them cool off a bit, and strain the liquid. Reserve the liquid/corn stock.
• PREPARING THE FULLBLOOD WAGYU CHORIZO AND BEEF BACON: Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom soup pot on medium-high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil. Once hot, add in the Fullblood Wagyu chorizo in small pieces, as well as the Fullblood Wagyu beef bacon. With a wooden spoon, break up the chorizo, and stir the bacon.
• PREPARING THE SOUP: Once the chorizo and bacon have browned, add in the diced sweet onions, carrots, grilled poblano peppers, red bell pep-pers, and celery. Coat everything with the fat/liquid (from the chorizo and bacon being cooked) in the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, while stirring constantly. Once the onions are translucent, add in the butter.Once the butter is melted, add in the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until it smells toasty (usually takes about 5 minutes).

Optional: add a little hot sauce if you prefer.Serve in bowls, and enjoy!
