Hatch Potato Soup

Matt's Hatch Green Potato Soup

Extra Spicy Recipe Optional

This is much quicker than a chili and tastes great.

Ingredients

8 to 12 Hatch or Anaheim Peppers – chopped (rough)
1 medium to large Sweet Onion – chopped (finely)
1 14oz can coconut cream
1.5lb – tomatillo
4 Large Jalapeños Seeded
1 hand-full bunch of cilantro
Minced Garlic – to taste (I use 2tbs)
2-3 medium to large potatoes
6oz of guacamole or more to taste as desired
4-6Tbs Nutritional Yeast (then to taste)
Low Sodium Slap ‘ya Mama – to taste 
     - To add a flavorful spicy flare I add:
                 o 3 Large Jalapeño Peppers unseeded- finely chopped (I used blender)
                 o 6 Large Serrano Peppers unseeded- finely chopped (I used blender)

How To:

PREP:

STEP 1:
Start by husking, washing and halving the tomatillos laying on a baking sheet face down. Then wash and halve the Jalapeños removing the seeds and place face down on the sheet. Add 2/3 of the chopped hatch chili’s around the pan and broil for 10min. After cooling for 5min place all of these ingredients into a blender until smooth adding the coconut cream and a single handful of cilantro chopped.

STEP 2:
Sauté lightly the onion and remaining hatch chili's (after finely chopping the remaining hatch) adding the garlic after a short time utilizing 2-3tbs of balsamic vinegar. 

Step 3
Cube potatoes into very small 1/2"x1/2" to 3/4"x3/4" and place into small pan or pot and boil until extra soft.
(you want the potatoes to cook long enough to almost be falling apart...but not just mushy)

Step 3:
Stir in the sautéed ingredients once the onions are translucent and have caramelized a bit.  May have to wait on it to reduce and add very little water if you need to reduce again for use.

Step 4:
Once sauteed add ingredients to blender and mix until smooth.

Step 5:
Drain potatoes of water...then add the mixture from the blender a little at a time, mixing in until the consistency is to your preference or liking.  (everyone has a different preference for the potato-to-soup mix)

Step 6:
Add the nutritional yeast, guacamole and then those things labeled, "to taste."

FINALLY:
Adjust all ingredients labeled “to taste,” as stated. Then simmer the soup on the stovetop for 10-15minutes and serve as desired.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. To make thicker you can use more nutritional yeast and onion powder as desired.
2. Adding spices via Serrano w/a few Jalapeño is exceptionally flavorful when you cut the ends and cut the ends off and chop in a blender or food processor leaving the seeds in. *(careful of inhaling the fumes of the peppers directly can cause irritation to throat and eyes if your not used to it)
3. Change it up to your liking
