directions

  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add shredded potatoes, both cans of corn and the chicken broth. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Add diced green chilies (don’t drain), chipotle sauce, garlic, oregano and cumin. Continue cooking, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Shortly before serving time, add the half-and-half and salt. With a sharp knife, cut half a lime in very thin slices and float on top of the soup. Cut remaining lime into quarters and serve on the side.

  1. This is a very satisfying soup. My family loved it. The shredded potatoes together with the corn give a nice texture. The lime gives a wonderful twist to the flavors of the chiles and spices. I will make this one again.
     
  2. Great tasting soup! Not the prettiest, though, unless it's decorated right. We used less oil, fat-free half-and-half and vegetable broth instead of chicken. Also, instead of chipotle chiles in adobo (which we can't always find) we used chipotle seasoning. Serve with some bread and veggies to make a complete vegetarian meal. Thanks, dicentra! Wonderful!
     
  3. Fine,tasty soup. Easy to make. The lime was a great addition and the lime garnish made it quite attractive. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken and omitted most of the garlic. Also, I used fat free Half and Half which did not seem to detract from the flavor. It did lower the calories. A fine recipe.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
