Yesterday I went to access the new edition online and discovered my subscription had expired! I renewed and was pretty excited about some of the recipes, but can't remember which ones. I think this looks like a good issue.

This is the potato and cheese soup with chorizo and poblano. Delicious! I would make it again, but cut the recipe in half, it makes a lot.

That's right up my alley, Blane. Would you post that recipe, please?

Here you go Rob.

Potato & Cheese Soup
with chorizo & poblano

Lime juice adds brightness to the
soup and helps all the ingredients
shine. But to keep it from becoming
bitter tasting, be sure to add it at
the end of cooking.

Makes 6 servings (10 cups)
Total time: 1 hour

CHAR:
4 poblano chiles

MEANWHILE, COOK:
1 lb. Mexican pork chorizo,
casing removed

MELT:
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 cup diced onions
2 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
2 tsp. each hot chili powder
and ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

STIR IN:
4 cups low-sodium
chicken broth
2 lb. russet potatoes,
peeled and diced
3 cups shredded Mexican four
blend cheese (12 oz.)
2 cups half-and-half
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
Queso fresco cheese
Lime wedges
Char poblanos over a gas flame
on all sides. Transfer poblanos to
a bowl, cover with plastic wrap,
and let steam 15 minutes. Peel,
seed, and dice poblanos.

Meanwhile, cook chorizo in a
large pot over medium heat until
cooked through, about 10 minutes,
breaking up chunks with a potato
masher. Transfer chorizo to a
paper-towel-lined plate.

Melt butter in same pot over
medium heat until foamy. Add
onions, garlic, chili powder, cumin,
and coriander and sweat until
onions soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.

Stir in broth and potatoes;
bring to a boil and cook, partially
covered, until potatoes are
fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Crush potatoes with a potato
masher to desired consistency,
then stir in cheese and half-andhalf
until cheese melts. Stir in lime
juice and season with salt and
black pepper.
Top servings with chorizo,
poblanos, and queso fresco;
serve with lime wedges.

Copied! Thank you! My mom would love this one, too. Shall probably wait until after Christmas and New Years to try it, but it could be sooner.

Another winner for C@H Issue #115 - Cod (Sea Bass-no) in Tomato-Pepper Sauce with Kalamatas,
Feta Cheese Garlic Bread
I added a side of Couscous with Cannellini and Lemon Zest which went great with the other components.

I pull fish at130° - to me 145° is way too long and ruins fish!
Prepping all the ingredients (as for an Asian dish) makes this a fast weeknight dinner - ready in a half hour.

Wine suggestion – Gewurztraminer, great match with all.

I made an entire batch of the feta cheese topping and so glad I did. I bet it would really be good tossed with hot cooked pasta for leftovers. Will certainly make again.
Give this dinner a 9 – the flavors really are our favorites.
