Queso Fresco Soup

A delicious soup using Mexican queso fresco, Hatch chiles, and potatoes. I use fresh frozen Hatch chiles but canned work in this recipe as well. A great soup to serve on those cold winter days. Easy and quick to make.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ¾ pound potatoes, diced

  • ¾ cup chopped onions

  • 2 canned roasted Hatch green chile peppers, diced

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup milk

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomato, Hatch chiles, and salt. Cook until tomato has softened, 4 to 5 minutes.

  2. Pour in chicken broth and cook over medium-low heat until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add cream and milk and bring to a simmer. Add queso fresco and cook until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
