Ingredients
3 large baking potatoes, scrubbed and chopped(you can peel them if you want)
3-4 tomatos chopped (or a big can can of whole tomatos will work)
10oz of Queso cotija seco.chopped into pieces
8 cups water
1 tbl powdered chicken bouillon
1/2 onion chopped
Directions
Makes 8 servings of about 1 cup each
Heat oil in bottom of pot. Add onion and press the garlic cloves. Sautee for a bit until the onion gets soft.
Add chopped potatoes and 6 cups of the water. Take the rest of the water and put in blender with the tomatoes, a bit of salt and the chicken boullion and blend for about 30 seconds. Add this mixture to the pot of potatos and water.
Boil potatos on medium heat until cooked (about 30 minutes) do not stir too much or the potatos will mash.
Right before serving add the cheese. If desired the amount of cheese can be altered to suit taste (less cheese will lower calories also!) You can also add some Cholula hot sauce or Valentina hot sauce to give it a bit of a spicy flavor.
This soup tastes great with a couple of warmed corn tortillas on the side!
