Quick Cream of Poblano Soup Recipe Has a Little Attitude by Donna John
To me, soup season is all year-round. This creamy poblano soup recipe is one of my favorites. This creamy soup is simple to prepare and loaded with flavor. You won't be able to stop eating it.
This Mexican-inspired cream of poblano soup recipe has just a few simple ingredients. Here is your shopping list: butter, poblano peppers, onion, carrots, flour, chicken broth, half and half, fresh cilantro and salt. After roasting and chopping the poblano peppers, the soup cooks up on the stovetop in about 35 minutes.
The low-calorie soup will vary in heat each time you make it. Why? Because sometimes poblanos are very mild and sometimes they have a little kick. It's just up to which one you're lucky to get when you make that choice in the produce department. Either way, it's one delicious spoonful of soup.
Ladle the soup into soup bowls and add toppings like shredded cheese, avocado, diced red onion, more fresh cilantro or tortilla chips. This soup is a wonderful lunch or light dinner with a salad on the side.
