Potato Poblano Soup

This is a fast and easy Mexican soup recipe that hits the spot on a winter night. If you want to be adventurous with this soup, substitute the regular butter for ganja butter. I sautéed the onions and garlic with 2 tbsp of my ganja butter. Also, after I bowled up the soup, I scooped a melon ball sized orb of ganja butter and placed it in the middle of the soup. The flavors of the ganja butter and the soup work really well with each other. Plus, after eating this at 6PM on a Sunday night, I was terribly stoned until about noon on Monday.

  • Roast under the broiler for 4-5 minutes a side. The skins will char. Once done roasting, place in a paper bag or a container with a cover. This will help steam off the charred skins. Seed, dice and set aside.

  • In a stock pot, saute the onions and garlic in butter over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. If you happen to have ganja butter, I recommend giving it a try with this soup. The flavors work really well together.
