Help! I lost my spice!

Identify this cookbook, or give me the potato/chili soup recipe I yearn for.
Years ago (mid 80s), I bought a cookbook, probably in England, but possibly North America. It was a small, Penguin*-sized paperback and was full of recipes for spicy food. I think they had chili ratings for how hot they were (but maybe not). It might have been called "The Chili Cookbook" (yes, I've googled, but nothing rings a bell) but it might not.
Thing is, it had the recipe for a potato and poblano chili soup which I made once and, in retrospect, was the most divine thing I ever tasted. I remember it contained enormous quantities of garlic, plus chilis, potatoes and cream. I don't know what else.
In one of my transatlantic movies, it disappeared.
Can anyone identify this cookbook, or point me at the recipe??
*the book not the flightless bird

The reason googling doesn't help is because you're spelling chile like chili. You want to google Chile cookbook. Is it one of these? Scroll down for a few promising ones.

Or, if it was purchased in England, then there's a good chance that "chile" was spelled "chilli" which is how they do it there.
An amazon search on Chilli Cookbook shows this....

Is it The New Chili Cuisine? I'm looking at my copy and the closest thing I can find is "Hot Creamy Potato and Anaheim Chile Soup." If that's the one I'll type it up for you in the morning.
