Delicious Vegan Roasted Poblano Pepper Soup
This soup features roasted poblano peppers blended with vegetable broth, onions, and garlic for a rich and flavorful experience. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk or any plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Roast the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cumin, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Peel and Chop Peppers: Once the poblanos have cooled, peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and chop them into pieces.
- Blend the Soup: Add the roasted peppers to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches.
- Add Creaminess: Stir in the coconut milk and heat gently over low heat. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy hot.
