3 to 4 medium onions, peeled and cut to 1/2-inch dice
1 bunch celery, trimmed and cut to 1/2-inch dice

Make a roux by combining flour and butter in a heavy pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not let brown.

Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add carrots, onions, celery, garlic, poblano peppers, cumin and thyme. Saut� 8 to 10 minutes, until vegetables are slightly softened. Add chicken base, water and white pepper. Cook until carrots are crisp-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Whisk in roux and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring often. Remove from heat. Add hot sauce. Mix well and allow to cool.

Before serving, add cream and chicken and heat through. Garnish with cilantro.
