Creamy Poblano Potato Soup Recipes

POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the poblanos skin-side down until blistering, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• While the poblanos are cooling, spray the grill pan with nonstick cooking spray and grill the Cotija cheese on all sides until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Cube the cheese and reserve for garnish.
• Remove and discard the blistered skin from the poblanos. Dice 1 poblano and reserve for garnish. Roughly chop the remaining 2 poblanos.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and the 2 chopped poblanos and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the Jack cheese. Pour in the 1 quart chicken broth and bring to a rolling boil. Add the cilantro. Boil for 30 seconds and then remove from the heat. 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 per batch). Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• Make a cornstarch slurry by whisking together the cornstarch with 4 teaspoons cold water or chicken broth in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the soup to thicken. Season with salt.
• Garnish with the pepitas, diced poblano and grilled Cotija cheese.

POTATO POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Saute onion in bacon grease until softened.
• Add poblano and garlic and saute several more minutes.
• Add chicken stock and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring often, until totally softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the coriander and cumin and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the cauliflower, milk, 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the cauliflower is very soft, about 8 minutes. The milk might curdle or separate, but don't worry- it will smooth out once you puree it.
• Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree in batches until completely smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender to puree. Return the soup to the pot and adjust the thickness to the desired consistency with water and season to taste. Serve topped with sour cream and chips with hot sauce and limes on the side.

POTATO POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• In a heavy Dutch oven or stockpot, fry the bacon over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown. Toss in the onions, half of the diced Poblanos, the salt and pepper and cook until slightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon out any excess fat. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly just to release the aroma, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes. Puree in a food processor or blender just until smooth, being careful not to over-process. Over-working will result in a gummy soup. Return to the pot, stir in the Crema, Creme Fraiche or sour cream and bring just to a boil. Stir in the remaining Poblanos for garnish. Sprinkle with grated Anejo, if desired, and serve hot.
