What's in it...

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp flour
  • 3 cans vegetable broth
  • 1 can Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chiles
  • 3 potatoes (baking sized), cubed

  • salt, pepper, cumin to taste

What I do...

  • In a large pot, sauté onions, cumin, and garlic in butter until tender.

  • Add the flour and stir continuously to create a paste (add more butter if needed).

  • Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes.

  • Add broth and Rotel (undrained) and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper.

  • Add potatoes, cover and simmer on medium heat until tender (about 10-15 minutes).

  • Mash lightly using a potato masher. 

  • Next, add green chile, corn, and heavy cream.

  • Combine and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Add a pinch of fresh cilantro, more cumin, salt and pepper.

  • Finally, add cheese and melt on a low heat.
