Soup Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 large poblano peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Soyrizo Rice
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup soyrizo (soy-based chorizo)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Prepare the Soup: In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped roasted poblano peppers, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Soyrizo Rice: While the soup simmers, heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the soyrizo and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cumin, stirring to coat the rice well. Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Serve: Ladle the poblano potato soup into bowls and serve alongside or over a scoop of the spicy soyrizo rice. Enjoy the combination of creamy, smoky soup with flavorful rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Roasting the poblanos adds smoky flavor; to roast, char them over a flame or under a broiler until blackened, then place in a sealed container to steam and peel.
- The soup can be blended for a smoother texture if desired.
- Adjust the spice level by adding jalapeños or using hot soyrizo.
- For a vegan option, ensure the soyrizo is plant-based and use vegetable broth.
- Leftover soup and rice can be refrigerated separately and reheated before serving.
