This soup made a great lunch today! DH & I both enjoyed it very much and we loved the addition of the green chiles. I made a few changes by adding some bacon to the onion and garlic and I used less green chiles - 12 oz. vs. 27 oz. -- I would have used more, but didn't have them on hand. I used a more potatoes and stock as well just to stretch the soup. Will definitely make this delicious soup again.

I have made this over 20 times since I saw it. I have tweaked it a bit using fresh pasilla and Anaheim chili's. I have added canned chili's, carrots, and celery. It's different every time but always delicious! Once you get the basics down it is yours to personalize very easily! This is my go to potato soup recipe! Thank you so much for my new family classic!!

made this today and turned out very good. I was a in a bit of a hurry, so I used 2 cans of diced potatoes I had in the pantry, did not feel like running out to the store + the extra time to dice, etc. I know, sacrilege! next time I am going to use actual whole potatoes and think I will add a 1/2 cup or so of sour cream. I know it will be even better next time!

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
