How to Make Tomato Poblano Soup

  1. Preheat broiler to high.
  2. Cut poblano peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes.
  3. Place pepper halves, cut-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hand.
  4. Broil for 15-18 minutes, or until blackened on all sides, flipping halfway through.
  5. Place peppers in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and let stand for 10 minutes.
  6. Peel and coarsely chop the peppers.
  7. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes, until softened.
  8. Add cumin, coriander, and minced garlic; sauté for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  9. Add canned crushed tomatoes, chopped poblano peppers, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  12. Carefully transfer half of the soup to a blender. (Leave some room for expansion.)
  13. Remove the center piece of the blender lid to allow steam to escape; secure the lid. Place a clean kitchen towel over the opening to prevent splattering.
  14. Blend until almost smooth. Pour into a large bowl.
  15. Repeat steps 12-14 with the remaining soup.
  16. Stir in lime juice and salt to taste.
  17. Garnish each serving with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
  18. Serve hot with lime wedges, if desired.
