It\u2019s hearty, creamy and fresh at the same time. We start by first giving the vegetables a good char, charring poblanos softens the skin and adds smokiness. Then its blended along with roasted onions, garlic into a smooth puree. Finally cooked with broth and a touch of cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The garnishes are the &nbsp;pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of this soup so make sure you have good selection of garnishes. We love lime juice, hot sauce or chopped jalepeno, chopped green onions, avocados, radishes, cooked rice, charred corn, cilantro are our favorites.  Here are the flavors makers that make this stew absolutely fabulous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Alliums: Onion, Garlic these are essential to any delicious food,&nbsp;<\/li><li>Spices: Cumin, Mexican oregano, adds smokiness, if you can\u2019t find Mexican oregano skip or use regular<\/li><li>Heat: chillies baby! poblanos, jalape\u00f1os its Mexican food!<\/li><li>Protein: meatballs, cooked chicken, white beans, crumbled tofu or vegan meatballs for vegan or vegetarian <\/li><li>Chicken or veggie stock. another layer of umami flavor<\/li><li>Fresh lime juice, cilantro to liven the soup<\/li><li>Avocado it makes everything better<\/li><li>Meatballs are totally optional, if you want a hearty meals I recommend meatballs but its delicious even without it.
