Potato Poblano Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a heavy Dutch oven or stockpot, fry the bacon over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown. Toss in the onions, half of the diced Poblanos, the salt and pepper and cook until slightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon out any excess fat. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly just to release the aroma, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes. Puree in a food processor or blender just until smooth, being careful not to over-process. Over-working will result in a gummy soup. Return to the pot, stir in the Crema, Creme Fraiche or sour cream and bring just to a boil. Stir in the remaining Poblanos for garnish. Sprinkle with grated Anejo, if desired, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Warm the chicken broth in a small saucepan. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted, then add the onions, celery, poblanos, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Raise the heat to high, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the mashed potatoes and use a wooden spoon or a whisk to incorporate them into the broth. The potatoes should melt into the broth, leaving no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the frozen corn and cook until the corn is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chives.

Steps:
