Let’s talk about our roasted poblano peppers!

Poblano peppers are a type of chili pepper that originated in Mexico. They have a beautiful dark green color and are larger than jalapenos. Their heat level is milder than jalapenos and poblanos have a subtle sweet aspect to them as well. I have an awesome local market I usually buy my roasted poblanos from, but it’s easy to roast your own. I usually broil my peppers, turning once or twice until they’re nicely charred on all sides. You can also roast peppers at 400-425 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or you can grill them. After roasting your peppers, you’ll want to seal them in a plastic bag and let them set for about 10 minutes to steam them. This makes removing the skin easier. Then peel off as much of the skin from your peppers as possible. The seeds and membranes contain the most heat, so I remove both.

How can I control the heat level in this keto roasted poblano tomato basil soup?

You can easily control the spice level in this soup to make it as mild or as spicy as you’d like. I added 3 poblanos to my soup and removed the seeds and membranes from all of them. If you’d like a milder soup, you can use only 1 or 2 poblanos and make sure you remove all the seeds and membranes. If you’d like a spicier heat level, you can either add more poblanos, or you can add some of the seeds or keep some of the membranes on the peppers. You can also throw in a diced jalapeno and saute it with the red pepper and onion if you’d like even more heat. To kick up the heat even more, you could add some red pepper flakes or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce!
