Roasted Poblano Cream Soup Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 1. Place the peppers under the broiler until they begin to char, turn over and do the same to the other side. Remove to a paper bag and leave until cooled. Then peel the skins off, remove the stems and seeds, and cut into chunks. Place in the soup pot.
• 2. Add all the rest of the ingredients except the cream and the cheese. Simmer for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
• 3. Remove the solids from the pot and place in a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Return to the soup pot and simmer for another 30 minutes.
• 4. Let sit covered until 30 minutes before eating, and stir in the cream, and heat gently. Serve the crumbed cotija on the side at the table.

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.

Steps:

• Cut three tortillas into ninths; place in food processor and chop until fine.
• Add flour,chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; blend to the consistency of cornmeal.
• Place oil in stockpot over medium high heat; add onion, 1/2 cup poblano pepper, and garlic and sauté until the onion is transparent.
• Add butter and let it melt.
• Add tortilla-flour mixture to the pan and mix to form a roux.
• Cook 4-5 minutes stirring constantly with a whisk- do not let mixture burn.
• While stirring, slowly add broth, scraping down sides and bottom often.
• Add half and half, bring to a slow simmer and cook 7-10 minutes.
• Do not let soup come to a hard boil.
• Turn off heat and let cool a bit.
• Add chicken before serving.
• Top each serving with shredded cheese, diced poblano pepper and tortillas strips.
