In reply to Sandi. I have it mentioned in the Notes section, but if you can’t find canned Hatch green chiles other substitutes can be any mild green chili: Green Bell Peppers, Anaheim Peppers, Poblano Peppers. Enjoy this one Sandi. :)

If I can’t find hatch chilies, what can I substitute? Thank you.

Kevin,
I made this soup over the weekend for me and my sister. It was quick and simple to make, but so flavorful. I have never used Mexican oregano before — you introduced me to a new spice! My sister isn’t a fan of cheese soups per se, but this is well-balanced and still seems “light” even though it is hearty.
Thank you for all your recipes — I come here first when looking for ideas and you have never yet steered me wrong.

In reply to elaine Dunham. This Hummus Kawarma is great for parties. Other than that I would suggest any brisket recipe here on the site or the Jerusalem cookbook by Yotam Ottoleghi is amazing.

I was inspired to make this after the wife and I had A potato cheese soup at a Peruvian restaurant this past weekend. I liked what we had at the restaurant but she raved about it so I thought I would make my own version for her as I am the cook in the family.

I was attracted to look and additional vegetables (corn and peas) of this recipe more than the very white creamy soup we were served. I definitely lean towards a rustic presentation in much of what I cook. For example I prefer the skins left on my potatoes for reasons of appearance, toothsomeness, and nutritional value.

I made some modifications and substitutions based on what I had and also my own personal preferences. For example I felt it needed more EVOO when sautéing my onions and garlic. I used half a can of fire roasted corn since I did not have fresh. Also doubled the amount of garlic as we are big fans. And in lieu of chili pepper flakes, I added two finely minced fresh jalapeño peppers that had been deveined and seeds removed.

All in all we both enjoyed it and I will make it again.

Hi Kevin,
Although this looks like a lovely recipe, it’s not from Peru but Ecuador! I said the same thing when I saw a similar recipe posted in The Splendid Table. There seems to be a confusion around the name, so I wrote to them and posted the corresponding links. Regards, Susy 🙂
