This is an amazing soup made with season's fresh Hatch chili and corn. This spicy soup is easy to make though it requires roasting on fire. It is worh the effort. This soup will be loved by everyone. The sweet corn, lime juice, and creamy cheese balance the heat of the chili, thereby making it very delicious one!
Roasting them may take a bit time. But it adds a great punch to the soup. If you like spicy or smoky flavor, this soup is ideal for you. It is important to get a nice char on the chilies, so that peeling is easier. I have used along with the seeds. Feel free to remove seeds if you prefer that way.
Mix and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Sneha of Sneha's Recipe is hosting this month's event in our #SaturdaySoupSwappers group. Every third Saturday of the month we share soup recipes based on a chosen theme. When Sneha announced the recipe, I decided to post this one as the heat of this chili is amazing.
