Quick Cream of Poblano Soup Recipe Has a Little Attitude

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.

There's some good recipes are these updated can we substitute certain foods like maybe cheeses and use a different kind of milk or different or egg substitutes with some of the recipes some of the soups the mac and cheese the clam cakes the zucchini fritters is there some substitution list you could share with us thanks
Donna John
Hello! Most times it's fine to substitute any kind of milk. I use coconut milk, almond milk, evaporated milk, cream, etc., interchangeably. I have two vegan kids, so will get a tip published about egg substitutes for you. As for cheese, you can always switch that to your favorite cheese. I wouldn't switch feta for cheddar, cream cheese for Gruyere, but if the recipe calls for a hard shredded cheese, any hard shredded cheese you like the flavor of would work. For the zucchini fritters, you could definitely substitute grated yellow squash or other vegetable you can grate for the zucchini. Hope this helps! Rosseyes
