Instructions

    Broil Poblano Peppers Turn oven on to the “broil” setting. Place poblano peppers on an aluminum foil-lined cookie sheet. Place in oven and broil. Broil for about 10 minutes, rotating every few minutes using tongs. Once peppers are dark brown, transfer to a bowl and cover with a plate. Allow them to steam.

    Prepare the Soup While the peppers are steaming, prepare the soup. In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic, celery, potatoes, cumin, oregano and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes.

    Add Corn & Broth Add the corn and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.

    Prepare the Peppers While the soup is cooking, prepare the peppers. Wearing dish gloves, or using a paper towel, scrape the outer charred skin off of the pepper. Remove the core and seeds then dice the peppers.

  • 6.

    Blend Soup Remove soup from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy. If using a blender, carefully transfer soup to a blender and blend until creamy. Transfer soup back to pot.

Breathe Better Food Tip

  • Garlic & Onion

    Garlic and onion can cause gas which may be problematic to patients with asthma. To help, replace the whole garlic and onion with dried versions. Use 1 tablespoon of dried onion and 3 teaspoons of garlic.

  • Heartburn

    If heartburn is an issue, try using red peppers in place of the poblano peppers. Red peppers offer a sweeter flavor and may not trigger heartburn. Follow the same preparation steps for the red pepper as the poblano.
