SONORAN CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. In a large saucepan, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Cook the green onions and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and tomatoes, and cook, stirring, until the tomato juices evaporate, 4 to 5 minutes. 2. Add the chicken broth, cream, salt, and crushed pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Divide the cheese among 4 soup bowls. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese and serve at once.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
