In a blender, combine poblanos, broth, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm milk and set aside.

In another saucepan over medium heat, melt butter or margarine, add flour and stir well. Add warmed milk and stir until well blended. Add poblano mixture and mix well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
