It's been raining every week here in beautiful New Mexico and me, not particularly liking the rain, wanted some comfort food. I was inspired by the potato leek soup from the movie Ratatouille. It looked like a hearty, yummy soup you could enjoy on a rainy day, so I created my own New Mexican version of it. Here is the recipe! Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts; boiled and shredded 3-4 russet potatoes; washed and chopped to 1 inch pieces 2 cups of water 1 cup of heavy cream 1 family size can (or two small cans) of cream of potato 1 family size can (or two small cans) of cream of chicken As much chopped green chile as your heart desires Salt and pepper to taste Garlic powder (for seasoning the chile) *Optional shredded cheese Directions: Start by boiling your chicken. Once your chicken is boiled put it to the side and let cool. While doing that start boiling your potatoes. Throw a dash of salt and pepper in the water for flavor. While potatoes are boiling, start shredding your chicken. Once the chicken is shredded and the potatoes are boiled, strain, then save about 2 cups of the water. In a large pot, combine the cream of potato, the cream of chicken, and the water. Mix well, then add the chicken, potatoes and green chile. Then pour in the heavy cream. Mix the soup thoroughly and let heat for 10 minutes on a medium high heat. Serve and enjoy! *Optional you could also top your soup with shredded cheese. I didn't look up the recipe for Ratatouille's potato leek soup, but I saw what it looked like and was inspired to create something completely my own. I hope you enjoy this yummy comfort food, and as usual, if you try it, let me know how it comes out! Use the hashtags #MyHeartBeatsNM and #PandemicDinners!
