Roasted Cream Of Poblano Soup Food

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.

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 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.

CREAMY POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Place a large soup pot over medium heat; add oil and butter. Once the butter melts and begins to sizzle, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has completely softened, and the edges have begun to brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the poblano chiles, stir and let them cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Make some room in the middle of the pot, and add the corn, sprinkle the salt and pepper and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken broth, let it come to a simmer and cook for 5 more minutes, so that the flavors have had the chance to really blend.
• Reduce the heat to low, wait for about a minute, and gently pour in the milk. Heat the soup through, for about 6 to 8 minutes, and serve. If you make it ahead of time, and want to reheat it, do so over low-medium heat.

CREAM OF POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Mix the potatoes, chiles, onion, garlic, dill, and water in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. About 30 minutes before serving, remove the potatoes and the chiles from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, and place in a blender. Discard the remaining ingredients from the slow cooker and rinse out. Add the milk and sour cream to the blender with the potatoes and the chiles. Blend until smooth or desired consistency. Return the mixture to the slow cooker, add the chicken stock, cover and continue to cook on high for another 30 minutes or until the soup is hot. Serve in an individual bowl, sprinkle each with a little crumbled cotija and fresh sprigs of dill, and serve with fresh, hot bread. Makes 6 to 8 servings Recipe Notes The name of this recipe in the book is Crema De Chile Poblano. I changed the name so I could find it in my database. The author says: We first made this delicious soup at cooking school in Mexico. Poblano chiles have a unique, rich flavor that cannot be found in other chiles, which is why they are a favorite to many people in central Mexico. The original recipe called for roasted poblanos, which can take quite some time to prepare, but by making this recipe in the slow cooker, the skins of the chiles soften enough that you don't need to remove them, and they help the soup retain its rich green color. This did not look like the picture in the book. It looked more like it was processed in the food processor rather than the blender. That said, the flavor of this soup is fabulous. This is one recipe NOT TO BE MISSED. Terry says she uses the refrigerated potatoes, the partially cooked ones.If you use the refrigerated potatoes, you don't have to cook them as long as the regular potatoes. And she uses cilantro instead of dill. Also, you can use Greek feta cheese for the Mexican Cotija cheese. Terry Pogue
