Roast green chiles on a cast iron comal until blistered.

Place roasted chiles in a bowl and cover to sweat for easier peeling.

Peel the roasted chiles and chop them up.

Chop about 4 small to medium potatoes into small cubes.

In a pot, combine chopped potatoes, chicken broth, chopped green chiles, and roasted green chili salsa.

Add deboned rotisserie chicken to the pot.

Cook the mixture on medium heat until everything is heated through and the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
