I love it when I try a new recipe and it tastes as good as it looks, or better! This creamy potato soup is one of those recipes. I saw a recipe in the current issue of Southern Living Magazine and decided to adapt it a bit to fit what I had in the house. It was very good!
Queso Potato Chowder
Ingredients:
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1 can chopped green chiles, drained
1 32 oz. bag frozen hash browns
1/4 tsp. cumin
28 oz. chicken broth
1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk (I used 2%)
1 cup half and half
1 cup (or a little more) shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup (or a little more) shredded cheddar cheese
Garnish-extra shredded cheddar, crushed tortilla chips
In a large pan, saute the peppers in the butter until tender. Add the frozen potatoes and cumin and stir until the potato chunks are broken up and the potatoes start to brown a little bit. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
Whisk the flour with the milk and cream, pour into potato/broth mixture and stir until thickened over medium heat (about 3 minutes). Reduce heat to very low. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the green chiles. Serve sprinkled with addtional shredded cheese and tortilla chips. So, it isn't lo-cal, but it is certainly delicious! Enjoy!

That sounds and looks so good!

OMGosh, this sounds delicious. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought of making potato soup with HASH BROWNS. GOOD GRIEF, what a fabulous idea. Gonna make this for our lunch soon. Yummy

This looks delicious Sue!
Soup making is on my list for this week. It frosted here last night...definitely changing over to soup weather.
I agree with you about making a recipe that tastes as good as it sounds. I made a real loser yesterday and it was such a disappointment. This sounds so yummy with the red pepper and the chilis. It is so different from the soup that I make. Yum! Joni
This looks really delicious. I love the little frozen hash brown shortcut!
That looks and sounds yummy! We love soup around here!
I have this cooking as I type! Smells wonderful, can't wait to taste!
This looks fantastic! I'm definitely going to have to try it out on one of our next chilly days.
It is excellent!!
That actually looks super good and easy....my favorite part!

It sounds and looks delish! I will admit though that I have eaten very little soup, since we moved to Florida. It's just not the same...
Yummm! If it ever cools down here, I will certainly make this! Miss you all, I have finally slowed down enough to blog again :))

Looks great! Thanks for sharing JoAnn
I'm usually not into peppers...but I feel that I would eat this if you made it for me.
