Bell peppers are milder and more widely available.

Roast 4 poblano peppers over an open flame until completely blackened.

Place roasted peppers in a plastic bag to sweat and make skin removal easier.

Chop half a cabbage into large pieces and set aside.

Peel and chop 1 carrot and set aside.

Peel and chop 3 potatoes into bite-sized squares and set aside.

Chop 1 medium red onion into medium-sized pieces and add to the vegetable mix.

Chop 1 zucchini and add to the vegetable mix.

In a blender, combine 4 cups of water, 2 tomatoes, 1 chopped onion, chicken bouillon, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth.

Remove the skin and seeds from the roasted poblano peppers and stuff them with generous amounts of queso fresco.

Cut each stuffed poblano in half to create 8 pieces.

In a bowl, mix 5 eggs and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until well combined and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan until hot, then coat the stuffed peppers in the egg mixture and carefully place them in the hot oil.

Fry the peppers until golden brown, flipping them to ensure even cooking. Drain on a plate lined with napkins to remove excess oil.

In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and sauté the chopped onion for about 2 minutes.

Add the blended liquid mixture to the sautéed onion, along with the chopped potatoes and carrots.

Once the mixture starts boiling, add the chopped cabbage and zucchini.

After adding the vegetables, carefully add the fried stuffed peppers to the pot and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
