I prepared the base a couple of days before serving. In all honesty, I loved the flavors to that point. Come game day (Superb Owl), I prepared the chorizo, shiitakes, and scallions and added them at serving time. Although I love all three of those things, I felt they overwhelmed the poblano and roasted corn. I will make again as a soup (I pureed about half the lima beans) ~ but skip the final ingredients.
