* 1 fresh Poblano pepper (pictured in background)
* 6 large carrots, coarsely chopped
* 2 TB fresh ginger, chopped
* ½ tsp turmeric powder
* ½ tsp ground cumin
* 2 TB miso paste
* 2 TB cashew butter
* 2 TB flax oil
* juice of 1 lime
Directions:
Preheat broiler. Roast poblano pepper in broiler, turning repeatedly until all sides are blistered and blackened. Set aside to cool.
Place carrots in medium saucepan and fill pan with water until carrots are just covered. Cook over medium-high heat until carrots are tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a food processor or high-speed blender.
De-seed and de-stem poblano pepper. Slip off blackened, papery skin. Divide in half. Place half in blender and set other half aside. Add remaining ingredients to blender and puree until velvety smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding remaining roasted poblano if a spicier soup is desired. Serve warm.
Note: This soup is equally delicious without the spicy roasted Poblano pepper added.
