Best 11 Cream Of Fresh Corn And Poblano Chile Soup Recipes

CREAMY CORN AND POBLANO SOUP

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.

CREAMY STOVETOP CORN WITH POBLANO CHILES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add a pinch of cayenne or a little minced jalapeño, if using.
• Add the corn kernels and poblano strips, season again and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is cooked and tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the scallions, then the crème fraîche and allow it to heat through. Taste for seasoning, and give the corn a good squeeze of lime.

CREAMY POBLANO CHILE SOUP WITH CORN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a dutch oven, or other large pot over medium-low heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and saute until golden and soft, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Raise the heat to medium and add 1 cup of the corn, half of the chiles, and 1 cup of the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, stir in the oregano, and cook, uncovered, until the corn is tender, 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Ladle the corn mixture into a blender with 1/2 cup of the remaining chicken stock and process until smooth. Pass the mixture through a medium-mesh sieved back into the pot. Add the remaining stock and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• While the soup is heating, in a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the remaining poblano chiles, the remaining corn, and the mushrooms and stir well. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper and saute until the mushrooms release their liquid and then the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes (this may take longer if you are using crimini).
• Add the mushroom mixture and the crema to the soup, stir well cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Taste and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and garnish with the cheese. Serve at once.

CORN AND ROASTED POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the milk, cumin seeds, bay leaves and rosemary in a medium saucepan. Place over low heat and bring nearly to a simmer. (Do not boil.) Remove from the heat and let sit 20 minutes to infuse.
• Heat the olive oil or butter in a large saucepan or stockpot over medium heat. Cook the onions with the salt until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the garlic and ground cumin and cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Then stir in the corn kernels and diced chilies and continue cooking over low heat 5 more minutes.
• Using your finest strainer, strain the infused herbal milk into the corn and chili mixture. Bring to a very slow simmer over low heat. Gently simmer 15 minutes.
• Pour one third of the soup into a food processor or blender and puree. Stir back into the soup pot. Serve hot with the chives as garnish.

Mix in heavy cream, half-and-half cream, sugar, and lobster base. Season with chile de arbol and black pepper. Stirring often, bring to a gentle boil.
• Melt 1/2 cup margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix in the flour, and stir constantly until thickened. Remove from heat, and gradually mix into the large saucepan. Cook and stir until the mixture is well blended and thickened.

CREAM OF FRESH CORN AND POBLANO CHILE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Roast the chiles directly over a gas flame, or under a preheated broiler, turning frequently with tongs, until charred all over, about 3 to 4 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent charring too much, or the chiles will get too soft. Put the chiles into a plastic bag, and let steam about 5 minutes. Wearing rubber gloves, peel, seed, and chop the chiles. Set aside. 2. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs over a large bowl, and scrape the cobs to get the remaining pulp. 3. In a large soup pot, bring the water and chicken broth to a boil. Add the corn kernels, corn pulp, onion, butter, and salt. Cook 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. 4. In a blender jar, purée the corn mixture and the reserved chopped chiles, in batches if necessary, until smooth. Add 1 cup of the cream, and blend again, about 30 seconds. 5. Pour the blended soup back into the same soup pot, and bring to a boil, over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the remaining 1 cup of cream and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until steaming hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust seasoning. Put 2 tablespoons of diced cheese into the bottom of each soup bowl, and ladle the hot soup into the bowls.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
