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.

- Add flour and salt and stir for a few more minutes.

- Stir in jalapeno pickling liquid and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
- Use a hand-held immersion blender to puree the soup. Stir in the reserved chopped Poblano, and cream before serving.

CREAMY CORN AND POBLANO SOUP
This is another creamy corn dish that has no cream in it - in fact, it has no dairy at all. I simmer the corn cobs to make the stock. When the corn is sweet, so is the soup, and I love the contrast of the sweet, creamy potage against the spicy roasted peppers.

Steps:
- Take the corn off the cobs. You should have about 5 cups kernels. Set aside 1 cup of the kernels.
- Place the corn cobs in a large soup pot and add the water. Make sure they are covered or at least floating in the water; you can break them in half if they are very large. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, partly cover and simmer 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the cobs. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Strain the broth and measure out 5 cups. Freeze any leftover broth.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and then add the 4 cups of corn kernels and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the corn is just tender. Add the corn broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile roast the chilies, either directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning often until they are uniformly charred. Transfer to a plastic bag and seal, or transfer to a bowl and cover tightly. Allow the peppers to cool, then remove the charred skin, rinse and past dry. Remove the seeds and veins (I recommend that you wear plastic gloves for this) and cut in thin strips or dice.
- Steam the kernels set aside for the garnish for 5 minutes, until tender. Set aside.
- Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender, taking care to remove the insert from the top and cover tightly with a kitchen towel to avoid splashes. Return to the heat, taste and adjust salt, and heat through.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Combine the steamed corn kernels and diced chilies and place a spoonful in the middle of each bowl of soup. Garnish with a sprinkling of cilantro or chives if desired, and serve.

Steps:
- Chop the onion and poblanos into small pieces.
- In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and poblanos and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 30 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the half-and-half, buttermilk, salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for poblano peppers that are dark green, firm, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are wrinkled, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the skin is blackened. Then, transfer the peppers to a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're adding the ingredients to the pot, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the soup from cooking evenly.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Don't rush this step!
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished simmering, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika, to taste.
Conclusion:
This creamy poblano pepper soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is made with roasted poblano peppers, vegetable broth, onions, garlic, cream, and cheese. It is then garnished with cilantro and sour cream. This soup is sure to warm you up from the inside out!
