Poblano Potato Soup I Made It

Poblano Potato Soup

This had nice flavor! But the texture was a little off for me. I used my stick blender straight in the pot and got it as smooth as possible. Briauna LOVED IT!!! She pretty much licked her bowl. I didn't use the creme fraiche because I don't think we can get that here, I can never find it. Just did a little extra cream. Topped with chopped chives and cilantro. Added a pic. to the HUGE collection!

Try French Cream Creme Fraiche it's a good recipe. This creme can also be whipped just like heavy cream. You can have this fraiche any time you want if you can stand to wait for about 24 hours.

Thanks for the recipe PSO! I can even make my own buttermilk, never waste my money on the stuff!
I know Marie, and roasting and peeling those poblanos make them so delicious!

NO!....................Do not sour milk.................Creme Fraiche needs a live culture to transform the heavy cream into French cream.

Love pobalanos, especially roasted... thanks for showing this one. Even though I'm not usually a potato soup fan, this one's going on the list. Jim knows his stuff from what I've tried. :-)

We LOVED this! :) No texture issues, here.

I left a full review on the page, but I did say I'd up the peppers by a few and I added spinach at the end and boy was it good. I also used russet taters.

Added my photo to the gallery of "in process" photos that are alreayd there. :)

That soup sure sounds good. Dont know what creme fraiche is. Just another type of cream, I guess? Great phto, Keni

Spinach was a great idea Keni! Not sure why I had texture issues on this, I'm gonna have to make this again, because yay, I have found where the creme fraiche is in the store! Mixed in with the imported cheeses! I have always thought it would be by the cream and milk. Anyway, will try again and report back soon :) Love your picture btw Keni!

I can get creme fraiche but I always have Mexican creama on hand and I like that for a sub...

I did add a lil more cream than called for, prolly... tryin to up those calories.... but I tasted it before adding the cream mixture and really liked it, even without.

thanks, luv.... I wish I could have tasted yours to see if it's just something you didn'tlike or if they were different texture. :)
