- Preparation
- In a large soup pot, melt butter and saute onions and garlic over medium heat.

- Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
- Add potatoes and chicken stock.
- Cook over medium heat until potatoes are done, about 10 to 20 minutes.
- Add cheese and, on very low heat, simmer about 30 minutes.
- Add salt to taste.
- For the absolute best results, omit the cheese, allow to cool overnight.
- Heat and just prior to serving add the cheese and then serve in Mexican soup bowls if you can find them (like a deep well plate).
- Comments
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and chopped green onions and dollops of sour cream and fresh and warm corn tortillas.. or even soft warm flour tortillas.
If you don't have a source to get fresh tortillas, you can substitue a quality recipe for corn bread, or add a garnish of freshly cut off the cob corn, like a relish.
An icy cold Margarita made with Patron Tequila and fresh limes is the completion of the perfect meal!!
