Directions:
- Heat the oil or butter over medium flame in a large pot. Add onion and garlic and simmer until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the potatoes, water or stick, milk, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are falling apart, 30 to 45 minutes. Mash potatoes up a bit with the back of the spoon to thicken the soup, leaving it a little chunky.
- Remove the soup from heat and stir in the cheese. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.
- Variation:
- 1. Saute 1-2 chopped ajis amarillos (yellow chili peppers) with onion and garlic for a spicier soup with an authentic Andean flavor. The peppers also add a beautiful yellow hue to the soup.
- 2. A handful of corn kernels is often added to this soup. Use about 1 cup and add after the soup has simmered for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- 3. Chopped avocado is often used as a garnish
