Poblano Veggie Balls Soup - Poblano Albondigas with Ancho Chile Soup - Vegan

I just love roasted poblano peppers flavors so always looking for the dishes where I can use this , This is a very famous soup which can be make with meatballs and rice so instead of using rice I used soy granules and use vegan meatballs and make this hearty soup and had it with my Jalapenos ginger beer. It was perfect heat in the soup and drink to give me warmth. If you want  you can add tortilla chips on top of it too and you can use rice also to make traditional way to make it but it takes longer and I wanted to make it fast so I just used soy granules which was fine by me. 

Ingredients : 

4 vegan meatballs

2 poblano peppers

1/4 cup soaked and dry soy granules

1 red onion chopped in matchsticks

1.4 cup frozen corn kernels

2 tbsp. mashed chipotle peppers in adobo

2 cups vegetable broth

1 tbsp.  Ancho Chile powder if not use paprika powder

salt to taste

1 tbsp. garlic powder

1/4 tbsp. oregano

1 chopped fresh jalapenos , saved few rounds for garnish

2-3 garlic cloves chopped

1 tbsp. oil

1 green capsicum cut in slices length wise

Method : 

Char poblano on direct gas flame from all sides.

When its done, put it in paper or plastic bag and close it so with the moisture in side  the skin get soften and its easier to remove it.

Once its cold enough to handle , remove the skin and take out the seeds from inside and cut it in strips and keep it aside. 

Heat a big pan, cook your frozen meatballs in it from all side and take it out.

In same pan, heat the oil and add garlic and cook for few seconds, then add onion and cook till its soften. 

then add chili powder ,broth and oregano and add meatballs in it too so it cooked from inside and juices goes inside too. 

If you are planning to add rice then add now and adjust the broth quantity and cook.

since I am not adding rice, I add granules and chopped poblano and capsicum in it and mix it.

Add chipotle peppers in it and cook it all in slow to medium flame for 6-8 minutes till everything is combined.

When you got the desired thickness , shut it off.

Serve yourself a nice bowl of soup with fresh jalapenos on top and if you wish  fresh coriander leaves and some tortilla chips and enjoy.
