ROASTED POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse the poblanos and roast them in the oven at 400F. Give them a flip after 15 minutes. They'll be mostly roasted in another 10-15 minutes, so 25-30 minutes total roasting time in the oven.
• Add 3 tablespoons butter to a saucepan on medium heat. Roughly chop an onion and add it to the saucepan, cooking for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Mince 4 garlic cloves and add to the onion, cooking for a minute or so.
• Add 3 tablespoons flour to the onion mixture and combine well. Add 4 cups of stock along with 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano (optional), a pinch of cumin (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well. Simmer for 7-8 minutes.
• Once the poblano peppers have cooled a bit, pull off as much skin as you can but don't worry about getting rid of all of it. Then de-stem and de-seed the poblanos. Roughly chop the poblano pieces and add them to the saucepan.
• Cook until everything is at a uniform temp and then combine the mixture in a blender. Be sure to use caution when blending hot liquids -- I usually just hold a paper towel over any openings just in case you get a geyser.
• Return mixture to the saucepan and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Salt to taste. I added another 1/4 teaspoon of salt but keep in mind the salt level will depend on which stock you use.
• Serve immediately but don't forget to garnish! I used Crema, finely chopped cilantro stems, freshly ground pepper, and a couple dashes of Valentina hot sauce.
• The acidity of the hot sauce pairs well with the poblanos so feel free to re-garnish once you make your way through the top layer. Other options for acidity: lemon/lime juice or vinegars.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

• Broil Poblano and jalapeno pepper until charred on both sides. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin, and set aside.
• Melt butter in a medium-sized pot.
• Add onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes.
• Add flour and salt and stir for a few more minutes.
• Add broth and whisk to combine.
• Remove seeds from the peppers, then dice. Add to the pot, along with the potatoes. If you'd like some texture in your soup, leave one of the chopped poblanos to add after you puree the other peppers in the soup.
• Stir in jalapeno pickling liquid and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
• Use a hand-held immersion blender to puree the soup. Stir in the reserved chopped Poblano, and cream before serving.
