this sounds really good - but he and I both think it also needs to have some garlic added to the ingredient list - and I'd probably leave a few of the ribs &/or seeds to give it a bit of heat.
WHEN I STOPPED TO SEE MY FRIEND HOOVER IN FT WORTH, WE WENT TO A GREAT PLACE FOR LUNCH IN GRAPEVINE ( NORTH FT.WORTH ) CALLED THE BIG FISH GRILL - THEY HAD EXCELLENT FISH AND CHIPS - THE WAITRESS BROUGHT US A SAMPLE OF FRESH JALAPENO SOUP THE CHEF HAD JUST WHIPPED UP - IT WAS TO DIE FOR AND THIS RECIPE SEEMS CLOSE TO IT - HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET BUT WILL LET YOU KNOW SOON - THE SOUP HAD NO HEAT TASTE AT ALL BUT A GREAT CHILI FLAVOR TO IT - BK
Cream of Roasted Jalapeno Soup
Removing the seeds and membrane from the peppers cuts the "heat" in the soup
12 large jalapenos, roasted, peeled and seeded
1 small onion, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken broth
Salt to taste
Sour cream and thin cut tortilla strips, fried crisp for garnish
Place jalapenos, onion and cream in blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
In medium size sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter, stir in flour until smooth. Slowly add the chile pureee, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Stir in chicken borth and salt Continue stirring until soup is thickened. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
Serve topped with a dollop of sour cream and pass the fried torilla strips to sprinkle in soup.
To roast jalapenos, place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with baking spray and place under broiler, turning so all sides are blistered and black. Remove from oven and place in paper bag or wrap in dish towel for 10 minutes, This will "sweat" the skin, so it is easily removed. Once skin is removed, rinse under cold water, then remove stems and open on remove seeds and white membrane.
Important Note: Wear rubber gloves when handling the peppers and do not touch eyes or face. . When you are finished with peppers, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
