A mild heat soup for a cool fall day. For more heat, add a jalapeño or two. The pale green color will have you thinking of the beauty of spring. This soup is great as the recipe is written, or when used as a base for a more hearty soup by adding roasted chicken. Carry it a step further as a starting point for chicken tortilla soup by adding rinsed black beans and frozen roasted corn in addition to shredded chicken.

How To Make roasted poblano soup

  • Step 1
    Roast poblano peppers over an open flame (gas cooktop) until skin is charred. Put peppers in an airtight container to soften the skin. Scrape the charred skin off, de-seed the peppers, and put the peppers in a large pot with 1 c water.
  • Step 2
    Add the diced potatoes, butter, onion, and garlic to the same pot. Cook over medium to high heat until the potatoes are tender. Do not drain.
  • Step 3
    Add the chicken bouillon and 2.5 cups of water to the pot with peppers and potatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  • Step 4
    Add the cream cheese to the soup. Use an immersion blender to the desired texture (chunky or smooth). Allow to simmer for a few minutes.
  • Step 5
    **At this point, add cooked shredded chicken and or 1 can rinsed black beans, a bag of frozen roasted corn. Top with shredded cheese **
