Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed, or more to taste
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
28 ounces canned roasted Hatch green chile peppers, diced
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Heat butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat until melted. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in potatoes and cook for 1 minute.
Sprinkle in flour and stir until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, until browned but not burned. Slowly pour in broth and stir until well incorporated; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes; do not allow to boil.
Stir in chile peppers, milk, cumin, oregano, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then immediately remove from heat; do not allow to boil. Add Monterey Jack cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir until melted. Season with pepper and serve.
Cook’s Note
You can use any broth.
If roasting your own Hatch chile peppers, use 1 1/2 pounds. I prefer to remove the seeds before chopping, but if you want more heat, leave them in.
