Tomatillo Soup

Serve this soup hot or cold. You can use cream, sour cream or plain yogurt to add a nice creaminess.

Ingredients

• 2-3 medium potatoes, chopped
• 3 tomatillos, peeled and cleaned, chopped
• 2 green chiles, preferably roasted and peeled, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 5 cups broth or water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons cream, if desired
• 1 bell pepper, chopped finely

Directions

In a large soup pot, saute potatoes, chiles, garlic and cumin to release fragrance. Cover with broth or water; bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes, then add chopped tomatillos. Cook for about 10 more minutes until all ingredients are tender. Add cream, if using, and salt and pepper to taste. At this point you can blend all or part of the soup to your desired consistency, or serve chunky. Garnish each bowl with the chopped bell pepper and serve hot or cold.
