How to Make Potato And Chile Soup

  1. Peel and cube 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into approximately 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a large pot, combine potatoes and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. While potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 chopped red bell pepper, 1 chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (or 2 tablespoons fresh), and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook until peppers are tender, about 6-9 minutes.
  5. Once potatoes are tender, carefully transfer them and ¾ of the cooking liquid to a blender or food processor. (Reserve remaining ¼ cup of cooking liquid).
  6. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Return the blended potato mixture to the pot. Add the cooked peppers and 1 cup of milk.
  8. Stir to combine. If the soup is too thick, gradually add the reserved cooking liquid until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Heat over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. Do not boil.
  10. Garnish with chopped scallions or cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
