Last night I made my mother's recipe for Cream of Jalapeno Soup. I made it with 4 jalapenos, and 3 roasted poblanos. I've made the recipe a couple of times & it's alwasys been a nice medium heat - a little cream, topped with bacon bits. You know - good for a rainy spring night. I cannot BELIEVE how hot this turned out. Dan got the hiccups! I think the cuprit was one of the poblanos which had no seed pod on the inside - only 3 seeds on one vein. Does anyone think this mutant could have made everything so unnaturally hot??? My other idea is that I kept the peppers in a plastic bag on the kitchen table for a couple of days. Wadda ya think???
