"@type": "Answer",
"text": " We use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, which are jalapeño chiles that have been smoked and canned in a flavorful sauce. They add a nice smoky flavor along with poblano peppers, which can also dial up the heat. If you want to keep your soup mild, you can use green bell pepper in place of the poblano and use less minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.<\/p>"
