Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
