(from a few nights ago) this is from bobby flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook. i like roasted cauliflower; i like creamy soups; i like roasted poblanos. this sound like a great soup! and it was good, but i'll say it wasn't great. flay suggested garnishing this soup with a goat-cheese topped blue corn tortilla chip that had been placed under the broiler to make a nacho. i decided to improve the iron chef's recipe (yes, i said it!) by roasting some extra cauliflower separately and sprinkling it onto the pureed soup as well, for some more interesting texture. my addition? added a lot. the iron chef's nacho? didn't work, in my opinion. i agree with adding some crunch factor to this soup, but i thought the goat cheese detracted from rather than added to the soup's flavor (and i love goat cheese). i love the roasted poblano in this, though. this is worth making again with a different kind of crunch (croutons or fried tortilla chips or something). and bacon, of course. it could definitely be improved with bacon.
