Step 1

1 Start by broiling up your “verde” ingredients: Position an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the broiler element; preheat the broiler

Step 2

2 Place the garlic, poblano peppers and tomatillos on baking sheet and broil for 6 to 8 minutes until the peppers are starting to blacken and blister

Step 3

3 Transfer the garlic to a plate (to avoid burning), then turn over the peppers and tomatillos; broil for 5 to 6 minutes more, until peppers are blackened and the tomatillos are soft

Step 4

4 Meanwhile, heat the oil until shimmering over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven

Step 7

7 Add the corn, the drained Great Northern and pinto beans, bulgur, kale, 3 cups of the broth and the salt

Step 8

Step 9

9 Once the veggies are done, carefully transfer them to a blender and add the remaining cup of broth

Step 10
