Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -5 large russet potatoes, peeled & cut in chunks
8 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 small onion, finely diced
2 teaspoons olive oil (colored with achiote seeds)
1 egg
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
salt & pepper
2 cups cooked rice (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil and add the potatoes. After it boils again, add milk.
  • Meanwhile, to make olive oil with aciote seeds, you heat the oil in a small frying pan with 2-3 achiote seeds over med heat until the oil turns an orange color. Do not let the seeds burn, as the oil will taste bad.
  • Saute the onion in the colored oil until translucent.
  • When potatoes are almost done, add the onion.
  • Separate the egg. Beat the yolk and add some hot soup to it, mix and add it into the pot. Stir well. Beat the egg white a little and add into the soup. Stir with a fork, Ribbons will form.
  • Add in the cheese and stir until melted.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. You can sprinkle sliced green onion tops or cilantro on top to serve.
  • As kids, we put a scoop of rice in the bowl and poured the soup onto it to serve. Delicious!

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with more seasoning.
