South of the Border Cheesy Potato Soup
Recipezaar
10 servings
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups diced peeled potatoes
3 cups chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1 tablespoon instant minced garlic (I use a mix of dried garlic and roasted red pepper)
2 cups milk
8 ounces monterey jack cheese
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (4 ounce) can diced chilies
2 ounces diced pimentos (optional) salt and pepper

Saute onion and celery in butter in large pot until tender.
Add potatoes, broth and spices; bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Mash potatoes to desired consistency with a masher or fork; or puree in food processor to desired consistency.
Stir in milk, and gradually stir in cheese until it is all melted.
Add corn, chilies, pimentos and salt and pepper until all is hot.
Can be frozen and heated up in a low crockpot later.

This is a new one I am trying out in my next two week menu.I think it sounds wonderful
