Queso Fresco Soup image

A delicious soup using Mexican queso fresco, Hatch chiles, and potatoes. I use fresh frozen Hatch chiles but canned work in this recipe as well. A great soup to serve on those cold winter days. Easy and quick to make.

Steps:

Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomato, Hatch chiles, and salt. Cook until tomato has softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
