- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until the skin is charred and blistered.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool. Once cooled, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped poblano peppers and cumin to the pot. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until creamy and frothy.
- Pour the soup into serving bowls and top each bowl with a dollop of frothed milk.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon and nutmeg on top for added flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños when cooking the onions.
- This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
