Merm's Potato Cheese Soup With Green Chilies image

One taste of this soup at my grandparents' then favorite Mexican restaurant in Tucson - Molina's - and my mom (whose grandchildren called Merm) had to make her own. This is how she made hers and actually everyone liked Mom's version (made with love) better than Molina's. This is pure comfort food for my Dad and for me and we chat about memories of my beloved Mother as we eat. Serve with fresh warm flour tortillas for dipping and of course a nice Mexican beer.

I doubled the recipe and it made a huge pot of soup. I was able to freeze half of it for later.

I'm not a big fan of green chiles, so I omitted them from the soup. It was still delicious!

I served this soup with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal.

I used a sharp cheddar cheese and it gave the soup a really nice flavor.

This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. It's warm and comforting, and the cheese and potatoes make it really filling.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth. The soup was still delicious!

I made this soup for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This soup was a disappointment. It was bland and the potatoes were undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I often add some chopped bacon or crumbled sausage for extra flavor.

This soup was a hit with my family! It was cheesy, flavorful, and the green chiles added a nice kick. I will definitely be making this again.
