Ingredients
- 4 Anaheim pepper roasted and cut into strips, or Poblano pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 white onion chopped
- 1 pound potato peeled and diced
- 6 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 1/2 pound Roma tomato peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup milk low-fat

Instructions
- Roast the peppers over a gas flame or broiler until the skin has blackened. Place them in a bowl, cover to steam, then peel, seed, and cut into strips.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth, then bring to a simmer.
- Cook the potatoes in the simmering broth until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add the peeled and diced Roma tomatoes, roasted pepper strips, and milk to the pot. Let it simmer for a few more minutes.
- Place the diced queso fresco in serving bowls. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese, allowing it to melt slightly. If desired, top with crushed red pepper flakes. Serve with warm tortillas or crusty bread.
