Preparation
For the green rice, bring stock to boil, add rice and salt, stir, then cover and reduce heat to low, cook 15 minutes.
Very finely chop the cilantro, lime, spinach, scallions and jalapeño by pulsing in a food processor. Add to rice then remove from heat and let stand.
For the soup, char the poblanos and blacken all over over open flame or under broiler, cover and cool, peel and seed, chop.
Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat with EVOO, poblanos, tomatillos, onions, cumin and garlic, soften 5 minutes, add corn, jalapeño peppers, Chick'n or chicken, stock and rice. Simmer until ready to serve.
