Potato, Cheese & Onion Soup

© Nick Young 2011

We are having some pretty bad weather here in the Dallas area, the college where I work has been closed for three days in a row!

In icy weather a hot soup is the perfect food, and this one is really simple to make and is pretty tasty.

1 lbs peeled and sliced potatoes
1/2 lbs yellow onions, chopped
1 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 anaheim pepper
32 fl ozs water and/or vegetable stock
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
A splash of olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp ground cumin

Sauté the garlic, onion and peppers in the olive oil. Add the potatoes, water and/or vegetables stock, seasonings and simmer until throughly cooked.

Blend with a hand or traditional blender until smooth, garnish with chopped scallions and serve.
