Brits Try Mexican Poblano Soup for the First Time (Better Than Ours!)

Authentic roasted poblano soup (crema de poblano) made from scratch in our UK kitchen — blistered poblanos, silky soup, huge flavour, and honest first-time reactions. Poblanos are mild (about 1,000–1,500 SHU), so you get depth without big heat — perfect comfort food for autumn.

What you’ll see

1) Air-fryer roasted poblanos, how to blister & peel for max flavour (yes, we show the skins popping!)
patijinich.com
2) Building the soup base: butter roux, onion, garlic, stock → blend → reheat till velvety
3) Cilantro stems for texture + crema-style finish (garnish inspo)

Real talk: salt levels, texture tweaks, and our 10/10 taste test

Ingredients (guided by video)

Poblano peppers, butter, onion, garlic, flour, chicken stock, cumin, black pepper, salt, cilantro (stems + leaves). Optional: Mexican oregano (citrusy, bold—different from Mediterranean oregano).

Why this works

Roasting concentrates the poblano’s sweet-smoky notes; blending gives a creamy body without overpowering heat. If you want more tang, finish with a splash of crema or a few drops of hot sauce or lime.
