Add the rest of the beef broth, oregano, and diced potatoes (if using).
Simmer for 15 minutes over medium heat.
Add the stuffed poblano peppers to the sauce.
Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve the stuffed poblano peppers on a plate with a generous spoonful of the savory tomato sauce.
