Tex-Mex Cheesy Potato Crock-Pot Soup

This year, I thought it might be fun to add a little spice to our usual potato soup recipe, with some jalapenos, spices and pico de gallo.

Condiments for Tex-Mex Potato Soup

You can add some toppings to your soup. I put our toppings in small dishes and set them out so people could add whatever toppings they liked. Some toppings we used are cilantro, sliced jalapeno, pico de gallo, mexican shredded cheese and green onions.

Instructions

1. Put cubed potatoes, chicken broth, minced garlic, minced jalapenos and spices in your crock-pot. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.

   

2. When potatoes are cooked through, use a potato masher or blender to mash the potato mixture. Add cream cheese, and milk to the hot mixture and blend. If blending in a blender, put soup mixture back into the crockpot.

3. Put egg yolks in a small bowl, add milk and mix well. Then add the yolk and milk mixture into the crockpot and stir it into the soup.

4. Add 1 cup of cheese and stir.

5. Serve. Garnish with remaining cheese, limes, pico de gallo or salsa, cilantro and anything else that sounds good!

My daughter’s friends were over when we made it the other night and they agreed that it is SO good! Everyone had second helpings! I love it when the kids like a recipe as much as I do! Give it a try!!
