Tips for the Perfect Chile Relleno Soup
- Roast the Poblanos Well: Roasting brings out a smoky flavor that’s key to this dish. Be sure to let them steam afterward for easy peeling.
- Use Fresh Cheese: Grate your cheese for smoother melting.
- Adjust the Spice: If you love spice, add a diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the onions.
- Make It Thicker: For a thicker soup, increase the amount of flour or use a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water) to thicken the soup before adding the cheese.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
- In the fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
- In the freezer: Freeze without the cream and cheese to prevent separation. When reheating, add fresh cream and cheese once thawed and heated.
