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

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ pound potatoes, diced
¾ cup chopped onions
1 medium tomato, diced
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
6 ounces crumbled queso fresco

Directions

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.
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.
