Ingredients
Vegetables
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
Liquids
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (can substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Roast the Poblanos: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until they are blistered and charred.
- Sauté Onions: While the peppers roast, heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Potatoes: Stir in the minced garlic and diced potatoes with the onions, cooking for an additional 5 minutes to develop flavor.
- Prepare Roasted Peppers: Remove the poblano peppers from the oven, peel off the skins, remove seeds, and chop them into pieces. Add these to the pot.
- Simmer Soup: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
- Add Cream and Warm: Stir in the heavy cream and gently warm the soup through without allowing it to boil again.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk.
- Adjust salt and pepper seasoning to personal preference.
