Best 5 Amazing Roasted Poblano Soup Recipes

ROASTED POBLANO SOUP WITH POTATOES AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Turn on the oven broiler.
• Arrange the poblanos on a baking sheet, and broil, taking care not to burn, and turning frequently. The peppers are ready when they are blistered and charred on all sides.
• Remove from the oven, place in a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Steam for 10 minutes.
• Remove seeds, and do your best to peel skin from poblanos.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Add the onion, and cook until translucent, 5-7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
• Add the poblano peppers, carrots, celery, potatoes, chicken stock and salt.
• Cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
• Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until creamy and smooth.
• Stir in the cheddar and milk, stirring until cheese has completely melted and incorporated into the soup.

ROASTED POBLANO SOUP - RECIPE

Steps:

• Set your oven to broil. Slice the poblano peppers in half lengthwise and place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet, skin sides up.
• Broil the poblanos about 15 minutes, until the skins char and blacken. They should puff up.
• Remove, cool slightly, then peel off the skins and discard them along with the seeds and stems.
• Rough chop the poblanos and set them aside.
• While the poblanos are roasting, heat a large pot to medium heat and add the olive oil.
• Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook them down about 5 minutes to soften.
• Add the chopped roasted poblano peppers, garlic, spinach, Cajun seasonings and salt and pepper. Cook another minute, stirring.
• Add the chicken stock and milk and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
• Remove from heat and stir in the crema or sour cream until it is completely incorporated.
• Use a stick blender to blend the soup into a thin consistency, or transfer it to a food processor or blender in batches.
• Serve in bowls and garnish with chili oil, chili flakes, pepper slices and fresh chopped parsley.

ROASTED POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse the poblanos and roast them in the oven at 400F. Give them a flip after 15 minutes. They'll be mostly roasted in another 10-15 minutes, so 25-30 minutes total roasting time in the oven.
• Add 3 tablespoons butter to a saucepan on medium heat. Roughly chop an onion and add it to the saucepan, cooking for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Mince 4 garlic cloves and add to the onion, cooking for a minute or so.
• Add 3 tablespoons flour to the onion mixture and combine well. Add 4 cups of stock along with 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano (optional), a pinch of cumin (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well. Simmer for 7-8 minutes.
• Once the poblano peppers have cooled a bit, pull off as much skin as you can but don't worry about getting rid of all of it. Then de-stem and de-seed the poblanos. Roughly chop the poblano pieces and add them to the saucepan.
• Cook until everything is at a uniform temp and then combine the mixture in a blender. Be sure to use caution when blending hot liquids -- I usually just hold a paper towel over any openings just in case you get a geyser.
• Return mixture to the saucepan and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Salt to taste. I added another 1/4 teaspoon of salt but keep in mind the salt level will depend on which stock you use.
• Serve immediately but don't forget to garnish! I used Crema, finely chopped cilantro stems, freshly ground pepper, and a couple dashes of Valentina hot sauce.
• The acidity of the hot sauce pairs well with the poblanos so feel free to re-garnish once you make your way through the top layer. Other options for acidity: lemon/lime juice or vinegars.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

ROASTED POBLANO WHITE CHEDDAR SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Saute onions in oil for about 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add in garlic and cumin and let toast for 1 minute.
• Pour in chicken broth and season with salt. Add in diced poblanos. Heat to a simmer.
• Pour in heavy cream. Use a stick blender to puree, or transfer to a blender to puree and return pureed soup to saucepan.
• In a small bowl, toss shredded cheese with cornstarch. Over medium heat stir cheese into the pureed soup until melted. Heat until cheese is completely melted and soup thickens slightly.

CREAMY ROASTED POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Add all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
• 2. Pour contents into a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally.
• 3. Taste and adjust seasonings according to taste. Remove all seeds before blending the Poblano peppers by running them through cold water but only for a few seconds in order to maintain the charred flavor. Chicken bouillon gives this dish a distinct flavor. You can use salt instead but the flavor will be slightly different.
