Best 5 Creamy Poblano 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.

• Add broth and bring to a boil.
• Crush scalloped potatoes into small pieces and add along with the cheese packet. Cook 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

CREAMY POBLANO SOUP

• Saute onion, poblanos, jalapeno, and garlic in some olive oil until onions are soft and clear.
• Saving the stock pot water, strain out the carrots and celery. Blend these with the sauteed ingredients.
• Melt butter in large sauce pan and whisk tortilla blend and a few cups of stock water. Stir for 3-4 minutes being careful not to let it scorch. Add to blended vegetables in a crock pot.

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.
