Tomato-Poblano Soup image

From Cooking Light, posted for safekeeping. I char chiles directly over a burner of my gas stovetop, turning with tongs until blackened all over, then steam in a bag to loosen skin.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 poblano chiles
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can no-salt-added whole peeled plum tomatoes, undrained
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Cut chiles in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place chile halves, skin side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 18 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and coarsely chop.
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; saute 3 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, and garlic to pan; saute 1 minute.
  • Using kitchen shears, coarsely chop tomatoes in the can. Add tomatoes, chiles, and broth to pan, stirring to combine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
  • Place half of tomato mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid to allow steam to escape, and secure lid. Place a clean towel over opening in lid to avoid splatters. Blend until almost smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat with remaining tomato mixture. Stir in juice and salt.
  • Top servings of soup with cilantro and sour cream; serve with lime wedges if desired.
