Chili Cheese Soup*
This unusual soup is inspired by Mexico's Purépecha (Tarascan) Indians' combination of chiles and queso cotija, the local cheese of the region. Here, manchego is substituted; Muenster also gives a good but different flavour.

| 1/2 | teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
| 3 | cups chicken stock |
| 2 | poblano chilies, roasted, peeled, membranes removed and cut into strips |
| 1 | cup milk |
| 1-1/2 | cups diced manchego, Muenster |
