Roasted Poblano Cheddar Soup Recipe 45 Food

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 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 CHEDDAR SOUP

Steps:

• To roast/char your poblano peppers, cut them in thirds length-wise and de-seed.
• Place onto a non-stick baking sheet in the oven at 425°F.
• Rub the sides of the pepper generously with oil in place on baking sheet.
• Roast for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove char / blisters.
• Add poblano to blender with half and half. Blend until incorporated.
• Add butter and cream cheese to pot on medium heat, stirring frequently.
• Add poblano mixture, white cheddar and remaining ingredients, stirring constantly.

BROCCOLI AND POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the drippings or oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, cayenne, thyme, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the broccoli and Poblano pepper and simmer until the potatoes and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme stems and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).
• Reheat the soup if necessary, and adjust the consistency with water and seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
• Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, some cilantro and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.

CHEDDAR CHEESE AND POBLANO CHILI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat bacon fat in large sauce or soup pan over medium heat. Add onion, shallots, garlic, jalapeno and chili powder. Sauté 2 minutes or until soft. Add cilantro, epazote, cumin and beer. Bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes or until liquid has reduced by half. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Knead butter and flour together until a paste forms. Slowly whisk into boiling soup, mixing until smooth. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, about 40 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat and immediately stir in cheese. Pour into blender by batches and blend until smooth. Add chiles. Season with salt and lime juice. Pour into soup bowls and serve immediately.

ROASTED POBLANO-CHEDDAR SOUP RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Place the poblano chiles on a small rimmed baking sheet. Broil for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the chiles occasionally, until charred on all sides. Remove from the oven and transfer to a resealable bag. Let rest for about 20 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the chiles, remove the seeds, and dice. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro and cook for about 2 minutes, until the tomatoes are tender. Add the flour and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flour is absorbed into the mixture. Stir in the chicken broth, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is thick and creamy. Add the roasted poblano chiles and cheese to the soup and stir until the cheese is completely melted. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the scallions.
