Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 poblano peppers seeded and finely chopped*
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 10 ounces frozen Southwestern-style hash brown potatoes 1/2 package
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 & 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup shredded asadero (Oaxaca) cheese** 4 ounces
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 4 ounces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste
- blue tortilla chips To garnish: red bell pepper, red onion, sliced jalapeno, cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large soup pot. When it is hot, add bell pepper, onion, poblano peppers, and garlic.
- Saute until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add potatoes and cumin and saute another 5 minutes or until tender.
- Slowly stir in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to stir up the bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 25-30 minutes.
- In a small bowl whisk flour, milk, and half and half. Turn the heat up to medium and add the milk mixture. Stir constantly for 5 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low.
- Add all the shredded cheese and cook on low, stirring constantly until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with tons of cilantro and more cheese!
- This soup does great in the freezer. Just heat it back up and serve when you want it!
Notes
- *Sometimes they are labeled pasilla peppers.**If you can't find any, use Monterey Jack cheese.
