OPINION | FRONT BURNER: Two pepper soup gets shot of flavor from mezcal

Roasted Two Pepper Soup With Corn and Mezcal (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette/Kelly Brant)

This soup is a mash-up of my two favorite roasted red bell pepper soups: Loca Luna's Cream of Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup With Roasted Sweet Corn and Cilantro-Lime Sour Cream and Ellise Pierce's (aka The Cowgirl Chef) Roasted Red Bell Pepper-Tequila Soup with an added poblano from me.

Together they create the perfect roasted red pepper soup — at least I think so.

The poblano adds just a whisper of heat while a splash of mezcal enhances this soup's sweet smokiness. If you prefer not to imbibe, the mezcal can be omitted. The soup will have a slightly different flavor, but still be quite good.

If you have some frozen Hatch or New Mexico roasted green chiles, feel free to swap them for the poblano.
