Soup in summer. Wait, what?! It’s spicy, it’s hot, and it’s everything you would expect not to have in the middle of summer. Yet, I just made this and everything about it was absolutely wonderful. And that includes eating this delicious soup in the summertime. The flavors and textures together are like WOW!
You are going to need to try this.

So lately, I am really finding some worth in the phrase “Do the unexpected.” In other words, keep people guessing, stray from being predictable, find a new hobby, and keep your life interesting. Heck, eat a bowl of spicy crab and poblano pepper soup in the summer! Because why wait another 4 months to taste something this delicious? Life is more fun when you mix things up a bit.
Take this soup for example. We have eaten this soup on some of the hottest days this summer. But who cares? It still tastes amazing. I did picture having a little more fun with it if it were a rainy day but nah, it’s a scorching 90 something and we headed out to the park for family pictures right after eating this. Wheww! And if that wasn’t enough, after we were done with pictures we made our way to the drag races and ended the night off with seeing a jet dragster. It literally had a jet engine and almost took my breath away when it took off. So as it turns out the spicy crab and poblano pepper pot was just what we needed to handle what was to come the rest of the evening. I mean, that jet car was so intense. Our kids were excited/a little scared, and I think I was too.
Make this soup if you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary and you need to spice things up a little. Or a lot!
Do the Unexpected. Eat Spicy Crab and Poblano Pepper soup in the summer!
